METHODS: This is an integrative review, conducted by searching the literature in the following databases: Virtual Health Library (BVS), Latin American and Caribbean Health Sciences Literature (LILACS), Medical Literature Analysis and Retrieval System Online (MEDLINE), and PubMed, using Health Sciences Descriptors (DeCS): \"necrotizing enterocolitis,\" \"quality of life,\" and \"prognosis\" combined with the Boolean operators AND and OR: \"quality of life\" OR \"prognosis.\" Inclusion criteria were: publication period between 2012 and 2022.
RESULTS: A total of 1,010 studies were located, of which ten were selected to comprise the bibliographic sample of this review. Children with NEC are prone to exhibit cognitive neurological impairment, especially those who undergo surgical procedures due to more severe conditions. Motor development was considered below average when compared to healthy children, with more noticeable delays in fine and gross motor function development. The search for the relationship between NEC and quality of life revealed that this condition has a negative impact on the well-being of affected individuals.
CONCLUSIONS: NEC has proven to be a serious condition contributing to high rates of morbidity and mortality in newborns, potentially leading to a reduction in the quality of life of affected patients.
方法:这是一个综合综述,通过在以下数据库中搜索文献来进行:虚拟健康图书馆(BVS),拉丁美洲和加勒比健康科学文献(LILACS),医学文献在线分析和检索系统(MEDLINE),和PubMed,使用健康科学描述符(DeCS):“坏死性小肠结肠炎,“\”生活质量,\"和\"预后\"结合布尔运算符AND和OR:\"生活质量\"或\"预后。“纳入标准是:2012年至2022年的发布期。
结果:共定位了1,010项研究,其中十个被选入这篇综述的书目样本。患有NEC的儿童容易表现出认知神经功能障碍,尤其是那些因病情更严重而接受外科手术的人。与健康儿童相比,运动发育被认为低于平均水平,在精细和粗大运动功能发育方面有更明显的延迟。对NEC与生活质量之间关系的研究表明,这种情况对受影响个体的福祉有负面影响。
结论:NEC已被证明是一种导致新生儿高发病率和死亡率的严重疾病,可能导致受影响患者的生活质量下降。
