RUIZ TELLECHEA, Yolma et al. The multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in surgical newborns. Rev haban cienc méd [online]. 2007, vol.6, n.4, pp. 0-0. ISSN 1729-519X.

A retrospective study was carried out in William Soler Hospital, in Havana City, during 2 years. Our main goal in doing this type of study was to evaluate the multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS) in surgical newborns.This study involved 130 newborns who needed to undergo surgical procedures. We modified the definition of systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS) and defined MODS as well. Patients were evaluated between 24-48 hours postoperative. A low proportion of infants, 24 out of 130 (18,5 %) were classified as SIRS, and 27 out of 130 (20,8 %) as MODS, only 16 patients died long after they were operated on due to other causes such as: short bowel syndrome, malnutrition and sepsis. We could finally conclude that Mortality rate increased a lot more when babies had suffered from SIRS and MODS rather than when these conditions were not present.

Palavras-chave : systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS); multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS); newborn; neonatal mortality.
