Abstract
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn, or PPHN, represents a challenging condition associated with high morbidity and mortality. Management is complicated by complex pathophysiology and limited neonatal specific evidence-based literature, leading to a lack of universal contemporary clinical guidelines for the care of these patients. To address this need and to provide consistent high-quality clinical care for this challenging population in our neonatal intensive care unit, we sought to develop a comprehensive clinical guideline for the acute stabilization and management of neonates with PPHN. Utilizing cross-disciplinary expertise and incorporating an extensive literature search to guide best practice, we present an approachable, pragmatic, and clinically relevant guide for the bedside management of acute PPHN. KEY POINTS: · PPHN is associated with several unique diagnoses; the associated pathophysiology is different for each unique diagnosis.. · PPHN is a challenging, dynamic, and labile process for which optimal care requires frequent reassessment.. · Key management goals are adequate tissue oxygen delivery, avoiding harm..

Abstract
Background Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a major lethal disorder in neonates that leads to an extremely high mortality rate. Thus, the early identification of adverse outcomes in PPHN is critical for clinical practice. This research attempted to develop a nomogram prediction system for assessing the mortality of newborns with PPHN. Methods Two hundred and three newborns with PPHN diagnosed from January 2015 to March 2022 were involved in the study. The clinical features of these newborns and pregnancy details were compared between newborns in the survival and lethal groups. Univariable and multivariate analyses were established in sequence to demonstrate the essential risk factors. The nomogram prediction model was built. Results A total of 203 newborns were included in the analysis. 136 (67.0%) newborns represented the hospital survival group. Plasma pH value (OR = 0.606, p = 0.000, 95% CI 0.45715-0.80315), septicemia (OR = 3.544, p = 0.000, 95% CI 1.85160-6.78300), and abnormal pregnancy history (OR = 3.331, p = 0.008, 95% CI 1.37550-8.06680) were identified as independent risk factors for neonatal death in newborns associated with PPHN. Finally, the nomogram predictive model was established based on multivariate analysis results, indicating the efficacies of prediction and calibration. Conclusion This study generated an applicable risk score formula using the plasma pH value, septicemia, and abnormal pregnancy history to recognize neonatal death in newborns with PPHN, presenting a sufficient predictive value and calibration.
