摘要：OBJETIVO: verificar a efetividade da intervenção fonoaudiológica na diminuição do tempo de alta hospitalar do recém nascido pré-termo. MÉTODOS: coleta de dados em 96 prontuários de recém-nascidos hospitalizados no Berçário Intermediário (BI) da Maternidade Marly Sarney no ano de 2000 a 2002 quando não havia atendimento fonoaudiológico e no ano de 2002 a 2004 quando ocorreu a implantação dos serviços fonoaudiológicos. RESULTADOS: os recém-nascidos que tiveram intervenção fonoaudiológica tiveram o tempo de internação mais curto do que os que não receberam. Os que receberam: 88% de 1 a 10 dias, 8% de 11 a 20 dias, 2% de 41 a 50 dias e 2% de 61 a 70 dias. Os que não receberam: 47,9% de 1 a 10 dias, 17,7% de 11 a 20 dias, 10,4% de 21 a 30 dias, 9,4% de 31 a 40 dias, 9,4% de 41 a 50 dias, 3,1% de 51 a 60 dias e 2,1% de 61 a 70 dias. Esse aspecto foi estatisticamente significante (p-valor < 0.000). CONCLUSÃO: os dados obtidos apontam para a efetividade da intervenção fonoaudiológica em recém-nascidos pré-termos. Houve associação entre menor tempo de internação hospitalar e presença de intervenção fonoaudiológica.
其他摘要：PURPOSE: to assess the efficacy of speech therapy in reducing hospital time in pre-term newborns. METHODS: comparing 46 pre-term infants between 2000 and 2002 in Marly Sarney maternity when the speech therapy service was not available in that hospital for 50 pre-term infants between 2002 and 2004 when that service was initiated. Data was obtained from patient charts. RESULTS: among the pre term newborns, those that received speech therapy had a shorter hospitalization time: 88% were discharged between day 1 and day 10, 8% between day 11 and day 20 and just 2% stayed between 41 and 50 days and 2% 61 and 70 days. Among those who did not undergo speech therapy just 47,9% were discharged between day 1 and day 10 17,7% of these patients were discharged between the 11th and the 20th day, 10,4% were discharged between the 21st and 30th days, 9,4% were discharged between 31 and 40 days, 9,4% were discharged between 41 and 50 days, 3,1% were discharged between 51 and 60 days and 2,1% were discharged between 61 and 70 days. This aspect was statistically significant (p-value< 0.000). CONCLUSION: the data showed the efficacy of speech therapy with pre-term infants. There was an association between shorter hospitalization time and speech therapy presence.
