In particular, cases involving lawsuits pertaining to neonatal care that were filed in the Heisei era were extracted and analyzed. In the late Showa era, retinopathy of prematurity accounted for the majority (54%) of neonatal-related lawsuits, whereas in the Heisei era, the majority (53%) of neonatal-related lawsuits were associated with neonatal asphyxia. In the Heisei era, 33 lawsuits dealt with neonatal care, and patients won in 19 (59%) of these cases. All lawsuits associated with bilirubin encephalopathy cited medical negligence in duties to closely follow up with bilirubin tests and provide appropriate instructions to see the doctor. In some cases of neonatal methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) infection, the court ruled that the patient was obligated to receive anti-MRSA medication even before identification of the causative organism. In a case of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), a causal relationship between postnatal respiratory management and PVL was found, as well as a causal relationship between delayed disclosure of the patient’s PVL to the family and a subsequent diagnosis of cerebral palsy. In cases involving a neonatal life-threatening event, patients won all cases related to prone sleeping position. Medical personnel won all cases related to early skin-to-skin contact for mothers and their neonates and all cases related to rooming-in. In many cases regarding respiratory disorders, directives about examination and treatment were left to the physician's discretion, but in some cases, something considered “absolutely appropriate from a neonatological point of view” fell outside the scope of discretion. Medical personnel should always consider the conditions that indicate the need for examination and therapeutic intervention and the content and timing of explanations to families regarding various neonatal diseases.}, pages = {10--20}, title = {平成時代における新生児診療に関する医療訴訟の分析}, volume = {4}, year = {2024} }
