The communication presented here acquaints the reader with the development of the number of live-births from all-state and regional view points. In addition to the newborn mortality, it is aimed at an adverse trend in the incidence of newborns with low birth-weight and at its main causes. In the next part, the attention is paid to the level of taking care of newborns of extreme birth-weight. In the last part, the authors also bring information on the development of children having birth-weight under 1500 g at their corrected age of 24 months.
The work is based on a secondary analysis of data from national data bases of the JE Purkyně Czech Neonatological Society and partially also of the Perinatological Section of the JE Purkyně Czech Gynaecological-Obstetric Society.
Since 2008, in Czech Republic, the number of live-births was stabilized at a limit of 118,000 children, and no considerable decrease has been yet observed. In 2010, the newborn mortality was of 1.44‰ (the South-Bohemian Region exerts a value of 2.2‰). The Czech Republic ever belongs to advanced countries with the highest occurrence of newborns of birth-weight under 2.500 g. A proportion of 7.7% of these children were born in 2010 (in the South-Bohemian Region 8.2%). In the Czech Republic, total of 493 children with a weight under 1000 g were born in the last year. Four hundred and one children were dismissed from hospital. In the South-Bohemian Region, total of 38 children of this weight were born, 30 of them being dismissed from hospital.
The work includes a conclusive statement that in terms of the situation of the whole republic, there is a deterioration of certain parameters of taking the specialized care of newborns.
