To test the hypothesis that elevations in the respiratory severity score (RSS) are associated with increased risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia-associated pulmonary hypertension (BPD-PH).
Retrospective cohort study of infants born extremely preterm admitted to a BPD center between 2010-2018. Echocardiograms obtained ≥36 weeks' post-menstrual age (PMA) were independently adjudicated by two blinded cardiologists to determine the presence/absence of BPD-PH. Multivariable logistic regression estimated the association between RSS with BPD-PH.
BPD-PH was observed in 68/223 (36%) of subjects. The median RSS at time of echocardiography was 3.04 (Range 0-18.3). A one-point increase in RSS was associated with BPD-PH, aOR 1.3 (95% CI 1.2-1.4), after adjustment for gestational age and PMA at time of echocardiography.
Elevations in the RSS were associated with a greater risk of BPD-PH. Prospective studies are needed to determine the validity and performance of RSS as a clinical susceptibility/risk biomarker for BPD-PH.
检验呼吸严重程度评分(RSS)升高与支气管肺发育不良相关肺动脉高压(BPD-PH)风险增加相关的假设。
对2010年至2018年间入住一家BPD中心的极早产儿进行回顾性队列研究。由两名 blinded 心脏病专家独立判定在月经龄(PMA)≥36周时获得的超声心动图,以确定是否存在BPD-PH。多变量逻辑回归估计RSS与BPD-PH之间的关联。
68/223(36%)的受试者观察到BPD-PH。超声心动图检查时的RSS中位数为3.04(范围0-18.3)。在调整超声心动图检查时的胎龄和PMA后,RSS每增加1分与BPD-PH相关,调整后比值比为1.3(95%置信区间1.2-1.4)。
RSS升高与BPD-PH风险增加相关。需要进行前瞻性研究以确定RSS作为BPD-PH临床易感性/风险生物标志物的有效性和性能。
