초록

본 연구는 미숙아의 체중을 추적 조사하여 성장곡선 체중 z-score 값으로 성장 상태를 확인하고 관련 요인을 탐색하기 위한 종단적 연구이다. 출생 체중, 재태연령, 출생 시 NICU에서의 의료적 처치 (CPR, 산소치료, 위장관 삽관), NICU 입원 기간 및 퇴원연령, 수유 문제, 일일 추정 수유량이 체중 성장에 유의하게 영향을 가지는 것이 확인되었다. 출생 체중과 연령이 적은 그룹이 유의하게 초기 성장 정도가 더 낮았으나 교정연령 3개월 이후부터 12개월까지의 체중에 차이가 없었다. 하지만 재태연령 40주 이후의 연령-체중 z-score가 평균 이하인 그룹이 출생 체중이 유의하게 낮은 것으로 보아 장기적인 성장에 출생체중이 영향을 미치는 것으로 보인다. 또한 NICU에서 의료적 처치를 받고 NICU 입원 기간이 긴 경우 성장곡선의 50 백분율 이하로 성장에 유의한 차이가 있었고, 퇴원 후 2개월간 수유과정 중 문제가 없으며 더 많은 양을 섭취한 그룹이 성장곡선에서 더 상위에 있었으며 더 잘 자랐다. 또한 NICU 퇴원 후 가정에서 자녀가 초기보다 하향 성장을 하고 있을 때, 외부의 도움 및 커뮤니티 케어를 필요로 하므로 미숙아 성장 지원을 위하여 커뮤니티 케어 도입의 필요성을 시사하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통하여 미숙아의 출생 체중 및 연령, NICU에서의 처치는 초기의 체중 성장에 영향을 끼치며, 재태연령 40주 이후의 성장 증진과 성장지연 위험을 감소시키기 위해서 올바른 섭취를 통한 원활한 영양공급이 중요함을 알 수 있다. 미숙아 성장 추적은 NICU 퇴원 후에도 지속되어야 하며 성장 증진 관련 변수, 특히 영양 지원에 적극적인 개입과 지지가 필요하다.

Purpose: This study examined the factors that may affect the growth status of preterm infants. Methods: This study included 91 preterm infants born at <37 weeks of gestation (22.9-36.9 weeks of gestation), including 48 (52.7%) males and 43 (47.3%) females. Diet-related data were collected through parental questionnaires, and growth-related data, such as height and weight, were collected through the hospital medical records. Results: No significant difference in weight and growth was observed between early and late preterm infants. On the other hand, smaller averages of all weight z-score (recent weight at 40 weeks of gestation) included lower birth weight, height, and head circumference. On the other hand, infants' birth weight, height, and head circumference in the weight z-score of <0 (<50% in the age-weight growth chart) was smaller than those in the weight z-score of ≥0. Furthermore, neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization period and NICU discharge were shorter with growth cessation age in weight z-score of <0. The weight growth velocity was associated with gestational age, birth weight, and medical treatment in the NICU. Thus, parents of preterm infants with low growth rates prefer more community care services for their children. Conclusion: Birth weight, age of preterm infants, and medical treatment in the NICU were factors related to early birth weight growth. Following NICU discharge, poor intake and intake issues were associated with poor growth after 40 weeks of gestation. Therefore, monitoring the growth of preterm infants requires continuous active involvement and supports for growth-promoting factors after NICU discharge.
