Abstract
Objective: Compare the incidence of death or adverse respiratory outcome in patients with low shunt burden from PDA to those with no PDA and evaluate secondary outcomes associated with PDA between groups.
Study design: Retrospective cohort study of all infants born <30 weeks gestation from 8/2018 to 5/2023 with TNE in the first postnatal week. Two groups: no PDA burden and low PDA burden. Primary outcome was composite of death or adverse respiratory outcome.
Results: 112 infants [no PDA (n = 69), low PDA burden (n = 43)] with mean gestational age and birth weight 27 ± 2 weeks and 1006 ± 310 g, respectively, were included. Baseline demographics were comparable with no difference in primary outcome (p = 0.2).
Conclusion: Prolonged exposure to low-volume PDA shunt was not associated with increased risk of death or abnormal respiratory outcome. Findings highlight the importance of redefining eligibility criteria for PDA trials, based on adjudication of shunt volume, to limit enrollment to patients with moderate- to high-volume shunts.
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.
