J Pers Med 2024; 14:368. [PMID: 38672994 PMCID: PMC11051200 DOI: 10.3390/jpm14040368] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/22/2024] [Revised: 03/24/2024] [Accepted: 03/27/2024] [Indexed: 04/28/2024] Open
Abstract
Fetal lung development is a crucial and complex process that lays the groundwork for postnatal respiratory health. However, disruptions in this delicate developmental journey can lead to fetal lung development disorders, impacting neonatal outcomes and potentially influencing health outcomes well into adulthood. Recent research has shed light on the intriguing association between fetal lung development disorders and the development of adult diseases. Understanding these links can provide valuable insights into the developmental origins of health and disease, paving the way for targeted preventive measures and clinical interventions. This review article aims to comprehensively explore the association of fetal lung development disorders with adult diseases. We delve into the stages of fetal lung development, examining key factors influencing fetal lung maturation. Subsequently, we investigate specific fetal lung development disorders, such as respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), and other abnormalities. Furthermore, we explore the potential mechanisms underlying these associations, considering the role of epigenetic modifications, transgenerational effects, and intrauterine environmental factors. Additionally, we examine the epidemiological evidence and clinical findings linking fetal lung development disorders to adult respiratory diseases, including asthma, chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), and other respiratory ailments. This review provides valuable insights for healthcare professionals and researchers, guiding future investigations and shaping strategies for preventive interventions and long-term care.

Cervera SB, Saeed S, Luu TM, Gorgos A, Beltempo M, Claveau M, Basso O, Lapointe A, Tremblay S, Altit G. Evaluation of the association between patent ductus arteriosus approach and neurodevelopment in extremely preterm infants. J Perinatol 2024; 44:388-395. [PMID: 38278962 DOI: 10.1038/s41372-024-01877-8] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/02/2023] [Revised: 12/28/2023] [Accepted: 01/05/2024] [Indexed: 01/28/2024]
Abstract
OBJECTIVE Assess if unit-level PDA management correlates with neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 18-24 months corrected postnatal age (CPA) in extremely preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective analysis of infants born at <29 weeks (2014-2017) across two units having distinct PDA strategies. Site 1 utilized an echocardiography-based treatment strategy aiming for accelerated closure (control). Site 2 followed a conservative approach. PRIMARY ENDPOINT NDI, characterized by cerebral palsy, any Bayley-III composite score <85, sensorineural/mixed hearing loss, or at least unilateral visual impairment. RESULTS 377 infants were evaluated. PDA treatment rates remained unchanged in Site 1 but eventually reached 0% in Site 2. Comparable rates of any/significant NDI were seen across both sites (any NDI: 38% vs 36%; significant NDI: 13% vs 10% for Site 1 and 2, respectively). After adjustments, NDI rates remained similar. CONCLUSION PDA management strategies in extremely preterm newborns showed no significant impact on neurodevelopment outcomes at 18-24 months CPA.

Huang Z, Cheng X, Lin B, Zhao J, Huang Z, Xiong X, Yang C, Chen X. Diameter of ductus arteriosus on postnatal Day 7 is associated with late pulmonary hypertension in extremely preterm infants. Pediatr Pulmonol 2023; 58:3523-3529. [PMID: 37712599 DOI: 10.1002/ppul.26686] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/25/2023] [Revised: 09/01/2023] [Accepted: 09/05/2023] [Indexed: 09/16/2023]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES A clinically feasible biomarker for pulmonary hypertension (PH) prediction is still lacking. Thus, we aim to assess the association between ductus arteriosus (DA) diameter and PH in extremely preterm infants. STUDY DESIGN A retrospective case-control study was performed to compare the diameter of DA in infants with and without late PH. Propensity scores were calculated to match the gestational age in two groups with a match ratio of 1:2. The diameter of DA was measured by echocardiography on postnatal Days 3 and 7. RESULTS A total of 91 infants were included in the study. The diagnosis of late PH was made in 32 infants between postnatal life of 28-159 days. Univariable analysis showed that late PH was associated with birth weight, invasive mechanical ventilation, hemodynamically significant PDA (hsPDA), duration of PDA exposure, the rate of surgical ligation, and diameter of DA on postnatal Days 3 and 7. After adjusting for these selected factors, the diameter of DA measured on postnatal Day 7 was independently associated with the risk of late PH (odds ratios: 5.511, 95% confidence interval: 1.552-19.562, p = .008). Receiver operator curve analysis indicated that 1.95 mm in DA diameter on postnatal Day 7 was the cutoff value for late PH with an area under the curve of 0.697. CONCLUSIONS Our findings suggest that DA diameter (larger than or equal to 1.95 mm) on postnatal Day 7 might serve as a predictor for late PH in extremely preterm infants.
