Abstract
Objective: Evaluate the impact of a sodium (Na) supplementation protocol based upon urine Na concentration on growth parameters and morbidities.
Study design: Retrospective cohort study of infants 260/7-336/7 weeks gestational age (GA) cared for before (2012-15, n = 310) and after (2016-20, n = 382) implementation of the protocol. Within- and between-group changes over time were assessed using repeated measures generalized linear models.
Results: For infants 260/7-296/7 weeks GA, utilization of the protocol was associated with increased mean body weight z-score at 8-weeks postnatal age, increased mean head circumference z-score at 16-weeks postnatal age, and decreased time on mechanical ventilation (all p < 0.02). No impact on growth was identified for infants 30-336/7 weeks GA. Incidences of hypertension, hypernatremia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis, and culture positive sepsis were unaffected by the protocol.
Conclusion: Protocolized Na supplementation is associated with improved growth and reduced time on invasive mechanical ventilation in extremely preterm infants without increasing incidence of morbidities.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development.
The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
