This study is to evaluate the effects of darbepoetin alfa (darbe) on neutrophil count in preterm neonates treated for anemia of prematurity.
This was a retrospective chart review comparing the absolute neutrophil counts (ANCs) of neonates administered 2 doses of subcutaneous darbe 10 mcg/kg to that of a randomly selected comparator group of neonates not administered the drug. Neonates <34 weeks gestational age, gestational age between 23w1d and 33w4d, born between July 2016 and June 2019, were included in the study.
The ANCs of 45 darbe-treated neonates compared with those of 45 randomly selected comparator control neonates revealed no difference in the rate of occurrence of neutropenia (ANC ≤1000/μL) between the darbe-treated neonates (26.7%) and comparator neonates (24.4%) (p > 0.99). There was also no difference in the rate of occurrence of severe neutropenia (ANC ≤500/μL) between the darbe-treated neonates (11.1%) and comparator neonates (6.7%) (p = 0.70). Darbepoetin alfa did not lead to differences in rates of resolution of neutropenia or severe neutropenia.
Short-term administration of darbe did not affect the ANCs of preterm neonates treated for anemia of prematurity. There was no difference in the rates of occurrence of neutropenia, severe neutropenia, or resolution of either between the darbe-treated neonates and comparator neonates.
本研究旨在评估阿法达贝泊汀(darbe)对接受治疗的早产新生儿中性粒细胞计数的影响。
这是一项回顾性图表审查,比较了皮下注射两剂10 mcg/kg阿法达贝泊汀的新生儿与随机选择的未给药对照组新生儿的绝对中性粒细胞计数(ANC)。纳入研究的新生儿孕周<34周,孕周在23周1天至33周4天之间,于2016年7月至2019年6月出生。
45例接受阿法达贝泊汀治疗的新生儿与45例随机选择的对照新生儿的ANC比较显示,阿法达贝泊汀治疗组新生儿(26.7%)和对照组新生儿(24.4%)的中性粒细胞减少症(ANC≤1000/μL)发生率无差异(p>0.99)。阿法达贝泊汀治疗组新生儿(11.1%)和对照组新生儿(6.7%)的严重中性粒细胞减少症(ANC≤500/μL)发生率也无差异(p=0.70)。阿法达贝泊汀未导致中性粒细胞减少症或严重中性粒细胞减少症的缓解率出现差异。
短期使用阿法达贝泊汀不影响接受治疗的早产新生儿的ANC。阿法达贝泊汀治疗组新生儿和对照组新生儿在中性粒细胞减少症、严重中性粒细胞减少症的发生率或两者的缓解率方面均无差异。
