Transient periventricular echodensities (PVE) in preterm infants affect neurodevelopmental outcome.
To correlate the duration and grading of PVE with neurodevelopmental outcome.
A retrospective, single-centre cohort study of infants with PVE diagnosed by ultrasonography from 1995 to 2000 with blinded grading and recognition of duration of PVE.
A total of 72 infants (median gestational age 32 weeks, median birth weight 1,668 g) were diagnosed as having PVE. Minor neurological abnormalities were diagnosed in seven (10%), cerebral palsy in six (8%), developmental delay in seven (10%), and mild mental retardation in two (3%) of the infants. Differences regarding adverse outcome were not significant between infants with severity grade 1 compared to severity grade 2 (16% and 22%, respectively). There was a significant increase in adverse neurodevelopmental outcome with increasing duration of PVE. Of 33 infants with duration of PVE<7 days, 1 (3%) had an adverse neurodevelopmental outcome, compared to 6 (24%) of 25 infants with a duration of PVE of 7-14 days, and 6 (43%) of 14 infants with a duration of PVE>14 days (P<0.002, RR 7.920, 95% CI 1.017-61.661; P<0.001, RR 14.143, 95% CI 1.871-106.895, respectively).
The duration, but not the grading, of transient PVE was significantly correlated with neurodevelopmental outcome.
早产儿脑室周围短暂性回声增强(PVE)会影响神经发育结局。
将PVE的持续时间和分级与神经发育结局进行关联。
一项回顾性单中心队列研究,研究对象为1995年至2000年经超声诊断为PVE的婴儿,对PVE的持续时间进行盲法分级和识别。
共有72例婴儿(中位胎龄32周,中位出生体重1668克)被诊断为患有PVE。7例(10%)婴儿被诊断为轻度神经异常,6例(8%)为脑瘫,7例(10%)为发育迟缓,2例(3%)为轻度智力低下。1级严重程度的婴儿与2级严重程度的婴儿相比,不良结局差异无统计学意义(分别为16%和22%)。随着PVE持续时间的增加,不良神经发育结局显著增加。PVE持续时间<7天的33例婴儿中,1例(3%)有不良神经发育结局;PVE持续时间为7 - 14天的25例婴儿中,6例(24%)有不良神经发育结局;PVE持续时间>14天的14例婴儿中,6例(43%)有不良神经发育结局(P<0.002,RR 7.920,95%CI 1.017 - 61.661;P<0.001,RR 14.143,95%CI 1.871 - 106.895)。
短暂性PVE的持续时间而非分级与神经发育结局显著相关。
