    (Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2017) Gomez Castillo, Sharon Gabriela; Raymundo Capcha, Roxana Milagros; Rivera Lozada de Bonilla, Oriana
    Objective: To identify the risk factors associated with meconium aspiration syndrome in newborns. Materials and Methods: Systematic review, observational, and retrospective, limited to full-text articles, critically evaluated using the Jover assessment tool. Results: A total of 10 articles were selected, with 20% (2) from Peru, 20% (2) from Nepal, and 10% each from Cuba, India, Argentina, Mexico, Sudan, and Australia. The majority of studies were analytical cross-sectional studies (70%). Cohort studies were more common in India and Australia (20%), with additional case-control studies from Peru and Cuba. 80% of the studies identified risk factors associated with meconium aspiration syndrome. Conclusions: The risk factors for meconium aspiration syndrome in newborns include gestational age, type of amniotic fluid (thin or thick), male sex, cesarean delivery, and maternal conditions like hypertension and perinatal asphyxia.
