Abstract
Objective To analyze clinical data related to preterm infants and identify risk factors for metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP). Methods This study involved 856 newborns with a gestational age of less than 37 weeks or a weight of less than 1,500g at the Second Hospital of Jilin University. Multifactorial analysis was performed using logistic regression models to explore the risk factors for MBDP. Linear regression was used to investigate the factors affecting the time of alkaline phosphatase (ALP) exceedance and the peak value of ALP in the MBDP group. Results In the MBDP group, ALP excesses occurred in preterm infants at an average of 39.33 days after birth, and the mean value of peak ALP was 691.41 IU/L. Parenteral nutrition and the application of assisted ventilation were independent risk factors for MBDP, with ORs of 1.02 and 1.03 respectively. Gestational age was found to be a protective factor for earlier time of onset of ALP exceedance (β = 2.24,) and the increase in the peak value of ALP (β = -16.30). Conclusion Parenteral nutrition and the application of assisted ventilation are independent risk factors for MBDP. Gestational age is a major factor influencing the time of onset of ALP exceedance and the peak value of ALP in infants with MBDP.

Abstract
Growth failure is a common problem in infants with established bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Suboptimal growth for infants with BPD is associated with unfavorable respiratory and neurodevelopmental outcomes; however, high-quality evidence to support best nutritional practices are limited for this vulnerable patient population. Consequently, there exists a wide variation in the provision of nutritional care and monitoring of growth for infants with BPD. Other neonatal populations at risk for growth failure, such as infants with congenital heart disease, have demonstrated improved growth outcomes with the creation and compliance of clinical protocols to guide nutritional management. Developing clinical protocols to guide nutritional management for infants with BPD may similarly improve long-term outcomes. Given the absence of high-quality trials to guide nutritional practice in infants with BPD, the best available evidence of systematic reviews and clinical recommendations can be applied to optimize growth and decrease variation in the care of these infants.

Abstract
Preterm birth and low birthweight have been associated with increased fracture risk in children. Our aim was to analyze bone fractures during childhood in preterm, and low-birthweight newborns compared to full-term and normal-birthweight newborns. We conducted a nationwide register-based cohort study in Finland from 1998 to 2017 and utilized the Medical Birth Register and Care Register for Health Care. All newborns alive 28 days after birth were included, and data on all fracture visits in specialized healthcare units were gathered. Incidences per 100,000 person-years with 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated, and comparisons were made by incidence rate ratios (IRRs). Kaplan-Meier analysis was used to analyze the timing of fractures during childhood (0-20 years). We included a total of 997,468 newborns and 95,869 fractures; the mean follow-up was 10.0 years, and the overall incidence of fractures was 963 per 100,000 person-years. Very preterm (<32 gestational weeks) newborns had 23% lower fracture incidence than term newborns (IRR 0.77; CI: 0.70-0.85). Preterm newborns (32 to 36 gestational weeks) had a fracture rate (IRR 0.98; CI: 0.95-1.01) similar to that of term newborns. Birthweight showed a linear increase in the fracture rates as newborns with birthweight less than 1000 g had the lowest fracture incidence of 773 per 100,000 person-years and the highest incidence (966 per 100,000 person-years) was among newborns with birthweight 2500 g or more. Children born very preterm or with extremely low birthweight have in general a lower fracture incidence during childhood compared to children born full term and with normal birthweight. These findings possibly reflect, in addition to improvements of neonatal intensive care and early nutrition, the fact that childhood fracture incidences are more dependent on issues other than early life events. © 2023 The Authors.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic respiratory disease in neonates and infants, which often presents with multisystem organ involvement, co-morbidities, and prolonged hospital stays. Therefore, a multidisciplinary chronic care approach is needed in the severest forms of BPD to optimize outcomes. However, this approach can be challenging to implement. The objective of this article is to review and synthesize the available literature regarding multidisciplinary care in infants and children with established BPD, and to provide a framework that can guide clinical practice and future research. AREAS COVERED A literature search was conducted using Ovid MEDLINE, CINAHL, and Embase and several components of multidisciplinary management of BPD were identified and reviewed, including chronic care, team development, team members, discharge planning, and outpatient care. EXPERT OPINION Establishing a core multidisciplinary group familiar with the chronicity of established BPD is recommended as best practice for this population. Acknowledging this is not feasible for all individual centers, it is important for clinical practice and future research to focus on the development and incorporation of national consulting services, telemedicine, and educational resources.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate risk factors for metabolic bone disease (MBD) in preterm infants and establish a nomogram model for predicting MBD risk. METHODS A total of 1104 preterm infants were enrolled, among whom 809 were included in the modelling set and 295 were included in the validation set. The modelling set was divided into MBD (n = 185) and non-MBD (n = 624) groups. A multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to investigate the independent risk factors for MBD. R software was used to plot the nomogram model, which was then validated by the data of the validation set. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) and calibration curves were used to evaluate the nomogram model's performance, and the clinical decision curve was used to assess the clinical practicability of the model. RESULTS Gestational age, time of trophic feeding initiation, parenteral nutrition duration, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cholestasis and sepsis were independent risk factors for MBD in preterm infants (P < 0.05). The ROC curve of the modelling set had an area under the curve (AUC) of 0.801; the risk prediction value of 0.196 corresponding to the maximum Youden index was the best value, and the prediction critical value was 125 points. The ROC curve of the validation set had an AUC of 0.854. The calibration curve analysis showed good accuracy and consistency between the model's predicted and actual values. CONCLUSIONS The nomogram model provides an efficient tool for the early assessment of MBD risk. Preterm infants with scores ≥ 125 should receive close attention and interventions in the early stage. WHAT IS KNOWN • The incidence and severity of MBD are inversely proportional to gestational age and birth weight. Bone loss can lead to prolonged hospital stay, ventilator dependence, pathological fractures and short stature. WHAT IS NEW • Gestational age, time of trophic feeding initiation, parenteral nutrition duration, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, cholestasis and sepsis were independent risk factors for MBD in preterm infants. The nomogram model provides an efficient tool for the early assessment of MBD risk.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains the most common long-term morbidity of premature birth, and the incidence of BPD is not declining despite medical advancements. Infants with BPD are at high risk for postnatal growth failure and are often treated with therapies that suppress growth. Additionally, these infants may display excess weight gain relative to linear growth. Optimal growth and nutrition are needed to promote lung growth and repair, improve long-term pulmonary function, and improve neurodevelopmental outcomes. Linear growth in particular has been associated with favorable outcomes yet can be difficult to achieve in these patients. While there has been a significant clinical and research focus regarding BPD prevention and early preterm nutrition, there is a lack of literature regarding nutritional care of the infant with established BPD. There is even less information regarding how nutritional needs change as BPD evolves from an acute to chronic disease. This article reviews the current literature regarding nutritional challenges, enteral nutrition management, and monitoring for patients with established BPD. Additionally, this article provides a practical framework for interdisciplinary nutritional care based on our clinical experience at the Comprehensive Center for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia.

Abstract
UNLABELLED Very low birth weight (VLBW) neonates present a high risk of metabolic bone disease (MBD). Our main objective was to determine the easiest way to make an early diagnosis of this disease by identifying surrogate biomarkers before any radiological signs occurred. We conducted in our NICU a 6-month observational prospective study, with inclusion of all singleton VLBW neonates. We collected clinical and biological data, and nutritional intakes during hospitalization. We defined biological MBD (bMBD) as alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels superior to 600 UI/L at day of life 30 (DOL30) and performed a case-control analysis. Nine out of 30 patients (30%) exhibited bMBD. All have extremely low birth weight and were significantly younger in gestational age (GA) and smaller at birth. There was no statistically significant difference in nutritional intake between bMBD and control groups. In the bMBD group, phosphatemia was lower since DOL3. ALP was already significantly higher at DOL15, and way beyond normal range. CONCLUSIONS Our results showed that even the strict respect of nutritional guidelines cannot completely prevent bMBD in high-risk patients and suggest that an early screening from DOL15, with ALP levels greater than 500 UI/L, could be sufficient for detection of upcoming MBD. WHAT IS KNOWN • Metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBD) definition is not consensual, but biological changes appear earlier than radiological signs of rickets. • MBD management relies on biological evidence. Treatment is based on phosphate and/or calcium and calcitriol supplementation. WHAT IS NEW • Studying phosphocalcic biological assessment in very low birth weight neonates, we showed respect of nutritional guidelines could not protect from biological MBD. • Increase in alkaline phosphatase (ALP), about 500 UI/l at day of life 15, could be a biomarker of MBD with no need of X-ray evaluation and sufficient to begin a treatment to prevent osteopenia.

Abstract
Importance Early recognition of metabolic bone disease (MBD) in infants is necessary but difficult; an appropriate tool to screen infants at risk of developing MBD is needed. Objectives To develop a predictive model for neonates at risk for MBD in the prenatal and postnatal periods and detect the pivotal exposed factors in each period. Design, Setting, and Participants A diagnostic study was conducted from January 1, 2012, to December 31, 2021, in Shanghai, China. A total of 10 801 pregnant women (singleton pregnancy, followed up until 1 month after parturition) and their infants (n = 10 801) were included. An artificial neural network (ANN) framework was used to build 5 predictive models with different exposures from prenatal to postnatal periods. The receiver operating characteristic curve was used to evaluate the model performance. The importance of each feature was examined and ranked. Results Of the 10 801 Chinese women who participated in the study (mean [SD] age, 29.7 [3.9] years), 7104 (65.8%) were local residents, 1001 (9.3%) had uterine scarring, and 138 (1.3%) gave birth to an infant with MBD. Among the 5 ANN models, model 1 (significant prenatal and postnatal factors) showed the highest AUC of 0.981 (95% CI, 0.970-0.992), followed by model 5 (postnatal factors; AUC, 0.977; 95% CI, 0.966-0.988), model 4 (all prenatal factors; AUC, 0.850; 95% CI, 0.785-0.915), model 3 (gestational complications or comorbidities and medication use; AUC, 0.808; 95% CI, 0.726-0.891), and model 2 (maternal nutritional conditions; AUC, 0.647; 95% CI, 0.571-0.723). Birth weight, maternal age at pregnancy, and neonatal disorders (anemia, respiratory distress syndrome, and septicemia) were the most important model 1 characteristics for predicting infants at risk of MBD; among these characteristics, extremely low birth weight (importance, 50.5%) was the most powerful factor. The use of magnesium sulfate during pregnancy (model 4: importance, 21.2%) was the most significant predictor of MBD risk in the prenatal period. Conclusions and Relevance In this diagnostic study, ANN appeared to be a simple and efficient tool for identifying neonates at risk for MBD. Combining prenatal and postnatal factors or using postnatal exposures alone provided the most precise prediction. Extremely low birth weight was the most significant predictive factor, whereas magnesium sulfate use during pregnancy could be an important bellwether for MBD before delivery.

Don't Forget the Bones: Incidence and Risk Factors of Metabolic Bone Disease in a Cohort of Preterm Infants. Int J Mol Sci 2022; 23:10666. [PMID: 36142579 PMCID: PMC9506409 DOI: 10.3390/ijms231810666] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 08/02/2022] [Revised: 09/02/2022] [Accepted: 09/10/2022] [Indexed: 11/16/2022] Open
Abstract
Metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBD) is a condition of reduced bone mineral content (BMC) compared to that expected for gestational age (GA). Preterm birth interrupts the physiological process of calcium (Ca) and phosphorus (P) deposition that occurs mostly in the third trimester of pregnancy, leading to an inadequate bone mineralization during intrauterine life (IUL). After birth, an insufficient intake of Ca and P carries on this alteration, resulting in overt disease. If MBD is often a self-limited condition, in some cases it could hesitate the permanent alteration of bone structures with growth faltering and failure to wean off mechanical ventilation due to excessive chest wall compliance. Despite advances in neonatal intensive care, MBD is still frequent in preterm infants, with an incidence of 16−23% in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW, birth weight <1500 g) and 40−60% in extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW, birth weight <1000 g) infants. Several risk factors are associated with MBD (e.g., malabsorption syndrome, parenteral nutrition (PN), pulmonary bronchodysplasia (BPD), necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), and some chronic medications). The aim of this study was to evaluate the rate of MBD in a cohort of VLBWI and the role of some risk factors. We enrolled 238 VLBWIs (107 male). 52 subjects were classified as increased risk (G1) and 186 as standard risk (G2) according to serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and phosphorus (P) levels. G1 subjects have lower GA (p < 0.01) and BW (p < 0.001). Moreover, they need longer PN support (p < 0.05) and invasive ventilation (p < 0.01). G1 presented a higher rate of BPD (p = 0.026). At linear regression analysis, BW and PN resulted as independent predictor of increased risk (p = 0.001, p = 0.040, respectively). Preventive strategies are fundamental to prevent chronic alteration in bone structures and to reduce the risk of short stature. Screening for MBD based on serum ALP could be helpful in clinical practice to identify subjects at increased risk.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Preterm newborn nutrition affects postnatal skeletal growth and bone mineralization, but studies have not yet fully concluded the relationship between nutrition and osteopenia. This study was intended to investigate the impact of nutritional factors on osteopenia in preterm newborns. METHODS This is a case-control study with babies born with gestational age ≤ 32 weeks in a high-risk maternity hospital, between 2018 and 2019. The population consisted of 115 newborns, being 46 cases (40%) and 69 controls (60%). Disease outcome was based on serum alkaline phosphatase levels > 900UL/l and hypophosphatemia < 4 mg/dl. Gestational data at birth and clinical and nutritional follow-up data during 8 weeks postnatally were assessed. Variables were assessed using regressive logistic models. FINDINGS Preterm infants who were fed pasteurized fresh human milk with acidity ≥ 4 ºDornic are 5.36 times more likely to develop osteopenia (p = 0.035). Higher calcium intake, compared to controls, also increased the probability of disease occurrence [OR 1.05 (CI 1.006-1.1); p = 0.025], while the presence of a partner [OR 0.10 (CI 0.02-0.59); p = 0.038] and the shortest time using sedatives [OR 0.89 (CI 0.83-0.98); p = 0.010] were protective factors associated with osteopenia. Extremely low birth weight [OR 5.49 (CI 1.20-25.1); p = 0.028], sepsis [OR 5.71 (CI 1.35-24.2); p = 0.018] and invasive ventilatory support [OR 1.09 (CI 1.03-1.18); p = 0.007] were risk factors. CONCLUSIONS Acidity and high calcium intake are the main nutritional factors associated with osteopenia of prematurity. Further studies on the use of human milk with lower acidity, recommendation and nutritional supplementation of calcium should be accomplished to guide prevention strategies in newborns at risk for osteopenia during hospital stay.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the risk factors for metabolic bone disease of prematurity (MBDP), and to provide a reference for the prevention of MBDP. Methods The databases including China Biomedical Literature Service System, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Data, and Weipu Periodical Database, PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library and other databases were searched for studies on the risk factors for MBDP published up to June 18, 2021. RevMan 5.3 and Stata 14.1 software were used to perform a Meta analysis. Results A total of 15 articles were included, including 13 case-control studies, 1 current investigation, and 1 retrospective cohort study. There were 1,435 cases in the case group and 2,057 cases in the control group, with a total sample size of 3,492 cases. Meta analysis showed that risk factors for MBDP include birth weight <1000g (OR = 6.62, 95%CI: 2.28–19.25), gestational age <32 weeks (OR = 2.73, 95%CI: 1.07–6.95), septicemia (OR = 2.53, 95%CI: 1.69–3.79), parenteral nutrition time (OR = 4.04, 95%CI: 1.72–9.49), cholestasis (OR = 3.50, 95%CI: 1.49–8.23), intrauterine growth retardation (OR = 6.89, 95%CI: 3.81–12.44), while the birth weight(OR = 0.44, 95%CI: 0.21–0.90) and gestational age (OR = 0.57, 95%CI: 0.44–0.73)are the protective factors of MBDP. Conclusion Factors like birth weight <1000g, gestational age <32 weeks, septicemia, parenteral nutrition time, cholestasis, and intrauterine growth retardation may increase the risk of metabolic bone disease of prematurity.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common chronic lung disease in preterm infants and seriously affects the quality of life of preterm infants. BPD is a life-threatening disease to preterm infants and may lead to serious sequelae including feeding difficulties, recurrent lower respiratory tract infection, airway hyperreactive diseases, growth retardation, and neurodevelopmental delay. In order to further standardize the follow-up management of preterm infants with BPD after discharge, based on related clinical evidence in China and overseas and practice experience, the Neonatal Evidence-Based Medicine Group, Committee of Neonatal Medicine, Cross-Strait Medical and Health Exchange Association, formulated this expert consensus from the aspects of the follow-up and management of respiratory diseases, growth and development, pulmonary hypertension, nerve dysplasia, metabolic bone disease, and vaccination of preterm infants with BPD after discharge.

Targeted management of evolving and established chronic lung disease of prematurity assisted by cardiopulmonary ultrasound: A case report of four patients. Front Pediatr 2022; 10:1112313. [PMID: 36793502 PMCID: PMC9922992 DOI: 10.3389/fped.2022.1112313] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/30/2022] [Accepted: 12/22/2022] [Indexed: 01/31/2023] Open
Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is one of the most common complications of premature birth. The current definition of BPD is based on the duration of oxygen therapy and/or respiratory support. Among the pitfalls of all the diagnostic definitions, the lack of a proper pathophysiologic classification makes it difficult to choose an appropriate drug strategy for BPD. In this case report, we describe the clinical course of four premature infants, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit, for whom the use of lung and cardiac ultrasound was an integral part of the diagnostic and therapeutic process. We describe, for the first time to our knowledge, four different cardiopulmonary ultrasound patterns of evolving and established chronic lung disease of prematurity and the consequent therapeutic choices. This approach, if confirmed in prospective studies, may guide the personalized management of infants suffering from evolving and established BPD, optimizing the chances of success of the therapies and at the same time reducing the risk of exposure to inadequate and potentially harmful drugs.
