Identify echocardiographic parameters at <or=4 day postnatal that predict the subsequent need for closure of a clinically significant patent ductus arteriosus (sPDA) in extremely-low-birth-weight neonates (ELBW).
Serial echocardiograms obtained in 115 ELBW at <or=10 day postnatal were examined to estimate PDA size using the PDA:left pulmonary artery (LPA) diameter ratio: >or=1 indicated a large PDA, <1 but >or=0.5 moderate, and <0.5 small. Sensitivity, specificity, and positive predictive values (PPV) were determined for ELBW <27 weeks and >or=27 weeks gestational age.
Neonates with moderate to large PDA at <or=4 day had 15-times greater likelihood of requiring treatment for sPDA than those with a small PDA (95% confidence interval (CI): 5.6-41). Sensitivity, specificity and PPV of the PDA:LPA at <27 weeks was 80, 86 and 92%, respectively.
A moderate to large PDA determined from the PDA:LPA ratio at <or=4 day postnatal identifies neonates <27 week gestation who subsequently require closure of a PDA.
确定出生后<=4 天的超声心动图参数,以预测极低出生体重儿(ELBW)随后需要关闭临床显著的动脉导管未闭(sPDA)。
对 115 例 ELBW 在出生后<=10 天进行了一系列超声心动图检查,使用 PDA:左肺动脉(LPA)直径比来估计 PDA 大小:>or=1 表示大 PDA,<1 但 >or=0.5 为中度,<0.5 为小。确定了<27 周和>or=27 周胎龄的 ELBW 的敏感性、特异性和阳性预测值(PPV)。
出生后<=4 天存在中到大型 PDA 的新生儿,其需要治疗 sPDA 的可能性比存在小 PDA 的新生儿高 15 倍(95%置信区间(CI):5.6-41)。<27 周时 PDA:LPA 的敏感性、特异性和 PPV 分别为 80%、86%和 92%。
出生后<=4 天的 PDA:LPA 比值中确定的中到大型 PDA,可识别出随后需要关闭 PDA 的<27 周胎龄的新生儿。
