Fatores Associados à hemorragia Peri-intraventricular em egressos de UTI Neonatal

Abstract

This paper consists of two parts. The first is to describe the theoretical foundations on Generalized Linear Models and further and specifically the Poisson Regression Model . The second part consists of an application , written in article form , the Poisson regression models to verify associated with peri- intraventricular hemorrhage factors , which is a major cause of death among premature infants especially those with very low birth weight born. It is known that brain damage from bleeding perintraventricular may be irreversible and the damage may have consequences for the entire life of these individuals . It then becomes necessary to assess how the occurrence of this injury in the neonatal period , since care services to mothers and newborns , including neonatal care unit so that prevention strategies are developed and implemented in these services. Thus , it is expected that this work can arouse interest in this methodology by students and professionals . As the analysis of the data can contribute to the prevention of morbidity solution studied.
