Abstract:

Objective To evaluate the correlation between neonatal brain damage and perinatal infection with Meta-analysis system, identify the cause of brain damage, intervene and treat newborns with brain damage to earliest convenience, and improve the prognosis of newborns. Methods The searched databases involving China Biology Medicine disc(CBM disc), CNKI, VIP, Wanfang, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library and Embase were included,and the studies on effects of Perinatal infection on neonatal brain damage were included. The literature search was up to October 9, 2020. A fixed(random) effect model was utilized to combine findings of literatures, and then the odds ratio (OR value) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. The reasons for heterogeneity was sought, and potential publication bias was analyzed. Results A total of 14 articles are included, and all the articles are case-control studies. The results concluded from Meta-analysis show that the OR value of the gestational infectious group was 4.13[95%CI:3.18-5.37], OR value of maternal gestational infectious disease group was 9.15[95%CI:5.42-15.45], and OR value of the neonatal infection group is 3.04[95%CI:2.24-4.11]. Conclusion The risk of co-infection is significant when neonatal brain damage occurs, or the neonatal brain damage is related to perinatal infection.
