Abstract
Background: The approach to patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) remains controversial. We aim to develop an algorithm to predict ibuprofen treatment failure (TF) using machine learning (ML) techniques.
Methods: Secondary analysis of a trial of very preterm infants receiving intravenous ibuprofen to treat PDA. A predictive model on TF was developed with ML. The impact of TF on outcomes was analyzed.
Results: One hundred forty-six infants were included. ML techniques showed that a logistic regression model predicted TF with an AUC 0.65. A multiple regression model found that bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was associated with TF, p = 0.03. Other neonatal outcomes did not differ between the study groups.
Conclusions: It is feasible to build a predictive model of ibuprofen TF with ML that could assist clinicians during the PDA treatment decision-making process. The identification of responders prior to intervention would mitigate adverse effects in non-responders, providing them with an alternative approach.
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.
