Hyaline membrane disease in term newborns

By Wiem Barbaria

Hyaline membrane disease (HMD) is a respiratory pathology due to pulmonary surfactant deficiency, commonly encountered in premature newborns, but still poorly understood in full-term newborns (FTNs). Our study examined the clinical and evolutionary profile of MMH in NNATs, and identified predisposing factors.The results show that the frequency of MMH was 12.5%. The mean gestational age at birth was 38.12 weeks' amenorrhea. The main risk factors were caesarean section outside labour and gestational age.Conclusion: NNAT MMH is a real entity in NNATs. It is essential to consider this diagnosis to avoid any delay in management, with obstetric-paediatric collaboration recommended to ensure a better prognosis.
