Correlation between the Closure Time of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Infants and Long-Term Neurodevelopmental Outcome. J Cardiovasc Dev Dis 2024; 11:26. [PMID: 38248896 PMCID: PMC10816731 DOI: 10.3390/jcdd11010026] [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: 12/15/2023] [Revised: 01/09/2024] [Accepted: 01/15/2024] [Indexed: 01/23/2024] Open
Abstract
In patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants, the relationship between treatment timing and long-term developmental prognosis remains unclear. The purpose of this study was to clarify the relationship between the age in days when ductus arteriosus closure occurred and long-term development. Preterm infants with a birth weight of less than 1500 g who were admitted to our NICU over a period of 9 years (2011-2019) and were diagnosed with PDA were included. A new version of the K-type developmental test for corrected ages of 1.5 and 3 years was used as an index of development. The relationship between the duration of PDA and the developmental index was evaluated using Pearson's correlation coefficient, and multiple regression analysis was performed. Development quotient (DQ) at the ages of 1.5 and 3 years showed a correlation with the PDA closure date and the standard deviation (SD) value of the term birth weight. Multiple regression analysis showed a positive correlation of the DQ at 1.5 and 3 years with the SD value of the term birth weight and a negative correlation with the PDA closure date. In addition, a stronger correlation was found in the "posture/motor" sub-item at 3 years. On the other hand, the analysis including preterm infants without PDA showed that preterm infants with PDA closure on the 6th day or later after birth had a significantly lower 3-year-old DQ than preterm infants with a PDA exposure within 5 days. In conclusion, it is suggested that the decrease in cerebral blood flow due to PDA in preterm infants has an adverse effect on long-term neurodevelopment. Appropriate interventions, including surgical treatment for PDA in preterm infants without delay, ideally within 5 days of birth, may be effective in improving the developmental prognosis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND This prospective study aimed to investigate whether lung ultrasound score (LUSs) can predict the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation. METHODS Preterm infants ≤25 weeks of gestational age (GA) were enrolled. A lung ultrasound was performed on the 14th day of life. Each lung zone was given a score between 0 and 4. A receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the ability of the LUSs for predicting ligation. RESULTS A total of 81 infants were eligible with a median GA and birth weight (BW) of 25 weeks (24.1-25.2) and 710 g (645-770), respectively. The median time from birth to ligation was 35 days (32-51). Those who underwent ligation had a longer time of mechanical ventilation (34 [26-39] vs. 19 [12-30], p < 0.001), shorter time of noninvasive respiratory support (39 [32-51] vs. 50 [41.5-57], p < 0.01), higher incidence of the bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (p < 0.01), and severe BPD (p < 0.001). The LUSs had an area under the ROC of 0.96 (95% confidence interval: 0.93-0.99) for the prediction of ligation. A LUSs cutoff of 36 has a sensitivity and specificity of 96% and 86% and positive and negative predictive values of 82% and 98%, respectively. CONCLUSIONS LUSs at an early stage of life can predict PDA ligation in extremely preterm infants. It would be helpful to reduce morbidity by reducing the duration and magnitude of respiratory support.

[Timing of surgical ligation of patent ductus arteriosus in very low birth weight infants]. ZHONGGUO DANG DAI ER KE ZA ZHI = CHINESE JOURNAL OF CONTEMPORARY PEDIATRICS 2022; 24:500-506.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To study the effect of timing of surgical ligation of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) on the prognosis of very low birth weight infants (VLBWI). METHODS The medical data of VLBWI who underwent transthoracic ligation for PDA from June 2018 to May 2021 were reviewed retrospectively. The infants were divided into early ligation group (≤21 days of age) and late ligation group (>21 days of age) based on the age of ligation. The two groups were compared in terms of perioperative clinical features, complications, and mortality. The risk factors for early surgical ligation were analyzed. RESULTS A total of 72 VLBWI were enrolled, with 19 infants (26%) in the early ligation group and 53 infants (74%) in the late ligation group. There were significant differences in birth weight, gestational age, weight at operation, days of age at operation, rates of preoperative invasive and noninvasive mechanical ventilation, incidence rate of pulmonary hemorrhage, incidence rate of hypotension, preoperative PDA internal diameter (mm/kg), intraoperative PDA external diameter (mm/kg), incidence rate of post-ligation cardiac syndrome, and duration of postoperative invasive mechanical ventilation between the two groups (P<0.05). A binary logistic regression analysis showed that pulmonary hemorrhage was an indication of early surgical ligation of PDA (P<0.05). There were no significant differences in the incidence rates of post-operative complications and the mortality rate between the early ligation and late ligation groups. CONCLUSIONS Early surgical ligation may be performed for VLBWI who are experiencing pulmonary hemorrhage and hemodynamically significant PDA confirmed by cardiac ultrasound after birth. However, post-ligation cardiac syndrome should attract enough attention. In addition, early surgical ligation of PDA does not increase the risk of surgery-related and long-term complications or death, indicating that it is a safe and feasible treatment option.

Abstract
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) may be found in 0.1-0.2% of term infants, but the average incidence is at least five-fold higher in premature infants, correlating inversely with birth weight and gestational age. While not all patients with a PDA require treatment, the deleterious effects of persistent left-to-right shunting across the ductus can have important short- and long-term consequences. Medical and interventional approaches to PDA closure have evolved greatly in the past decade and add to the decision-making pathways. This article summarizes the pathophysiology of PDA and characterizes the medical, surgical and endovascular treatment approaches.

Abstract
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is common among extremely preterm infants. In selected cases, surgical PDA ligation may be required. The timing for PDA ligation may depend upon a variety of factors, with potential clinical implications. We aimed to investigate the impact of different surgical PDA managements on ligation timing and neonatal outcomes. Inborn infants < 32 weeks of gestation and < 1500 g admitted at two tertiary Neonatal Intensive Care Units that underwent PDA ligation between 2007 and 2018 were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study and split into the following groups based on their surgical management: on-site bedside PDA ligation (ONS) vs. referral to an off-site pediatric cardiac surgery (OFS). Neonatal characteristics, surgical timing, and clinical outcomes of the enrolled infants were compared between the groups. Multivariate analysis was performed to evaluate the impact of PDA ligation timing on significantly different outcomes. Seventy-eight neonates (ONS, n = 39; OFS, n = 39) were included. Infants in the ONS group underwent PDA ligation significantly earlier than those in the OFS group (median age 12 vs. 36 days, p < 0.001) with no increase in postoperative mortality and complications. The multivariate analysis revealed a significant association between PDA ligation timing, late-onset sepsis prevalence (OR 1.045, 0.032), and oxygen need at discharge (OR 1.037, p = 0.025).Conclusions: Compared with off-site surgery, on-site bedside ligation allows an earlier surgical closure of PDA, with no apparent increase in mortality or complications. Earlier PDA ligation may contribute to reduced rates of late-onset sepsis and post-discharge home oxygen therapy, with possible cost-benefit implications. What is known: • Ineffective or contraindicated pharmacological closure of a hemodynamically significant PDA may require a surgical ligation. • Available literature comparing the effect of early vs. late PDA ligation on the main neonatal morbidities has yield contrasting results. What is new: • The availability of a cardiac surgery service performing bedside PDA ligation allows an earlier intervention compared to patient referral to an off-site center, with no difference in postoperative mortality and complications compared to off-site surgery. • Earlier PDA ligation was associated with a lower prevalence of late-onset sepsis and of oxygen need at discharge, with possible cost-benefit implications.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a particularly common problem in preterm infants. Although surgical ligation is rarely performed in many contemporary neonatal intensive care units, it remains a necessary treatment option for preterm infants with a large hemodynamically significant PDA under strict clinical criteria, and it can reduce mortality in preterm infants. However, the optimal timing of surgical ligation is still controversial. We conducted this systematic review and meta-analysis to compare the mortality and morbidity of early and late surgical ligation of PDA in preterm or very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants. METHODS This review was registered in the International Prospective Register of Systematic Reviews (PROSPERO) (CRD42019133686). We searched the databases of PubMed, Embase, the Cochrane Central Register of Controlled Trials, and the World Health Organization International Clinical Trials Registry Platform up to May 2019. RESULTS This review included 6 retrospective studies involving 397 premature or VLBW infants with PDA. Pooled analysis showed that compared with the late ligation group, the early ligation group had a lower fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) at 24 hours postoperatively (mean difference [MD] -6.34, 95% confidence interval [CI] -9.45 to -3.22), fewer intubation days (MD -19.69, 95% CI -29.31 to -10.07), earlier date of full oral feeding (MD -22.98, 95% CI -28.63 to -17.34) and heavier body weight at 36 weeks of conceptional age (MD 232.08, 95% CI 57.28 to 406.88). No significant difference in mortality or other complications was found between the early and late groups. CONCLUSION Our meta-analysis implies that compared with late surgical ligation, early ligation might have a better respiratory outcome and nutritional status for PDA in preterm or VLBW infants. There was no difference in mortality or postoperative complications between early and late ligation. A randomized prospective clinical trial with a possible large sample size is urgently needed to reinvestigate this conclusion. PROSPERO REGISTRATION NUMBER CRD42019133686.

Abstract
Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a common problem among preterm infants. The standard of care for PDA has been to attempt to close the PDA by pharmacological treatment or surgical ligation. Recently, conservative approach for PDA (i.e., infants receive no treatment for PDA unless it is necessary for rescue) is gaining interest. However, when PDA is persisted under the conservative approach, there is a concern about the neurodevelopmental problems caused by decreased cerebral oxygenation. Our objective was to examine the risk of neurodevelopmental impairment in preterm infants, when PDA remained persistently open under conservative approach for PDA. We retrospectively analyzed data from the medical charts in 72 included infants (gestational age < 29 weeks, birth weight < 1,250 g). Under our conservative approach for PDA, we divided infants by their ductal patency: a closed ductus group (ductus closure within 14 days after birth, n = 52) and a persistent patent ductus arteriosus group (ductus closure after 14 days, n = 20). We compared the clinical parameters and neurodevelopmental outcomes assessed with the Kaufman Assessment Battery for Children (K-ABC) at 5 years of corrected age in two groups. Among the children who completed the K-ABC test, there were no significant differences in neurodevelopmental scores between a closed ductus group (n = 44) and a persistent patent ductus arteriosus group (n = 17). A conservative approach for PDA, even in the case of prolonged PDA, does not increase the risk of neurodevelopmental impairment at 5 years of corrected age in preterm infants.

Optimal timing of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for patent ductus arteriosus in preterm infants born at ≤ 28 weeks of gestation. Pediatr Int 2019; 61:792-796.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for patent ductus arteriosus (VATS-PDA) is an alternative surgical procedure to open chest surgery, even in premature infants. This study investigated whether the timing of VATS-PDA has a prognostic impact in premature infants whose operative indication was determined according to the symptomatic PDA and the ineffectiveness of or contraindication to indomethacine therapy. METHODS We studied 49 infants born at or before 28 weeks of gestation who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit between January 2004 and June 2016, and who underwent VATS-PDA. The patients were divided into two groups according to median age at the time of surgery (early group, 24 infants who underwent surgery at ≤ 24 days of life; late group, 25 infants who underwent surgery at ≥ 25 days of life). RESULTS No significant differences were found in bodyweight at 30 days of age and 40 weeks of corrected gestational age between the groups. The timing of surgery did not affect the operative procedure or postoperative complications. In addition, no differences were observed between the early and late groups in terms of complications associated with prematurity, including intraventricular hemorrhage, incidence and severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and necrotizing enteropathy. CONCLUSION Video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery for patent ductus arteriosus can be safely performed in premature infants without a preferential timing for the intervention, suggesting that this procedure allows for an elective basis approach after heart failure management with conservative and/or drug therapy in premature infants with PDA.

Abstract
AIM To determine whether early echocardiographic ductal parameters identified infants who subsequently received medical or surgical treatment of the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). METHODS Infants <29 weeks had PDA size in 2D and colour, flow velocity and patterns obtained on days 1 and 3. Infants were followed up to identify those subsequently receiving treatment for symptomatic PDA by clinicians who were unaware of scan results. Receiver operator characteristics curves and logistic regression were performed. RESULTS Sixty infants were studied. Mean (SD) gestation and birthweight were 25.8 (1.5) weeks and 817 (190) grams, respectively. Twenty-four (40%) infants received medical treatment, and nine (15%) infants received surgical ligation of PDA at a median age of 12 and 37 days, respectively. PDA size on days 1 and 3, change in ductal size between days 1 and 3, flow pattern/velocity did not predict whether infants subsequently received medical or surgical management of PDA. Using logistic regression, gestation (p = 0.006) was the only factor that predicted whether infants would subsequently receive medical or surgical treatment for PDA in this cohort. CONCLUSION Echocardiographic ductal parameters on day 1 or 3 did not identify infants who received PDA treatment. Gestation was the most powerful predictor for receiving medical or surgical treatment of PDA.

A persistent left-to-right shunt through a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) increases the rate of hydrostatic fluid filtration into the lung's interstitium, impairs pulmonary mechanics, and prolongs the need for mechanical ventilation. In preclinical trials, pharmacologic PDA closure leads to improved alveolarization and minimizes the impaired postnatal alveolar development that is the pathologic hallmark of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Although routine prophylactic treatment of a PDA on the day of birth does not appear to offer any more protection against BPD than delaying treatment for 2-3 days, recent evidence from quality improvement trials suggests that early pharmacologic treatment decreases the incidence of BPD compared with a treatment approach that exposes infants to a moderate-to-large PDA shunt for the first 7-10 days after birth. After the first week, routine pharmacologic treatment (compared with continued PDA exposure) no longer appears to alter the course of BPD development. Evidence from epidemiologic, preclinical, and randomized controlled trials demonstrate that early ductus ligation is an independent risk factor for the development of BPD.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to assess the differences in the mortality and in-hospital outcomes of preterm infants with < 28 weeks of gestation who received ibuprofen treatment according to the presence of clinical symptoms (any of oliguria, hypotension, or moderate to severe respiratory difficulty) attributable to hemodynamically-significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) at the time of first ibuprofen treatment. In total, 91 infants born from April 2010 to March 2015 were included. Fourteen infants (15.4%) received ibuprofen treatment when there were clinical symptoms due to hsPDA (clinical symptoms group). In clinical symptoms group, infants were younger (25 [23-27] vs. 26 [23-27] weeks; P = 0.012) and lighter (655 [500-930] vs. 880 [370-1,780] grams; P < 0.001). Also, the clinical risk index for babies (CRIB)-II scores were higher and more infants received invasive ventilator care ≤ 2 postnatal days. More infants received multiple courses of ibuprofen in clinical symptoms group. Although the frequency of secondary patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation and the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was higher in the clinical symptoms group in the univariate analysis, after multivariate logistic regression analysis adjusting for the CRIB-II score, birthweight, birth year, and the invasive ventilator care ≤ 2 postnatal days, there were no significant differences in mortality, frequency of secondary ligation and in-hospital outcomes including necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), BPD or death. Our data suggest that we can hold off on PDA treatment until the clinical symptoms become prominent.
