Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) management varies widely among neonatologists.
Lack of institution-specific evidence-based guidelines for therapeutic closure of PDA.
Quality improvement project among infants <30 weeks gestational age (GA) designed to determine whether the odds of therapy for closing the PDA, adjusted for GA, decreased after implementing evidence-based guidelines.
Implementation of guidelines with conservative approach to PDA management.
The frequency of PDA treatment decreased from 446/1125 (40%) in Epoch 1 to 96/482 (20%) in Epoch 2. PDA treatment was more frequent in neonates 23-26 weeks GA than those of 27-29 weeks GA (43% vs. 28%, respectively). Among 542 infants receiving indomethacin for PDA, 25% had subsequent ligation; the odds of ligation after indomethacin were lower in neonates 27-29 weeks GA and decreased during Epoch 2.
The frequency of medical and surgical treatment for therapeutic closure of PDA decreased after implementing evidence-based treatment guidelines.
动脉导管未闭(PDA)的管理在新生儿科医生中差异很大。
缺乏针对特定机构的、基于证据的 PDA 治疗闭合指南。
在<30 周胎龄(GA)的婴儿中开展质量改进项目,旨在确定在实施基于证据的指南后,调整 GA 后,PDA 治疗的可能性是否降低。
实施 PDA 管理的保守方法指南。
PDA 治疗的频率从第 1 阶段的 1125 例中的 446 例(40%)降至第 2 阶段的 482 例中的 96 例(20%)。23-26 周 GA 的新生儿比 27-29 周 GA 的新生儿更频繁地接受 PDA 治疗(分别为 43%和 28%)。在接受吲哚美辛治疗 PDA 的 542 名婴儿中,有 25%随后进行了结扎;27-29 周 GA 的新生儿进行结扎的可能性较低,并且在第 2 阶段期间有所下降。
实施基于证据的治疗指南后,PDA 治疗的药物和手术治疗频率降低。
