Long-term outcomes of very low birth weight infants with intraventricular hemorrhage: a nationwide population study from 2011 to 2019. World J Pediatr 2024; 20:692-700. [PMID: 38615088 PMCID: PMC11269332 DOI: 10.1007/s12519-024-00799-x] [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: 07/21/2023] [Accepted: 01/30/2024] [Indexed: 04/15/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Advancements in neonatal care have increased preterm infant survival but paradoxically raised intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) rates. This study explores IVH prevalence and long-term outcomes of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants in Korea over a decade. METHODS Using Korean National Health Insurance data (NHIS, 2010-2019), we identified 3372 VLBW infants with IVH among 4,129,808 live births. Health-related claims data, encompassing diagnostic codes, diagnostic test costs, and administered procedures were sourced from the NHIS database. The results of the developmental assessments are categorized into four groups based on standard deviation (SD) scores. Neonatal characteristics and complications were compared among the groups. Logistic regression models were employed to identify significant changes in the incidence of complications and to calculate odds ratios with corresponding 95% confidence intervals for each risk factor associated with mortality and morbidity in IVH. Long-term growth and development were compared between the two groups (years 2010-2013 and 2014-2017). RESULTS IVH prevalence was 12% in VLBW and 16% in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. Over the past decade, IVH rates increased significantly in ELBW infants (P = 0.0113), while mortality decreased (P = 0.0225). Major improvements in certain neurodevelopmental outcomes and reductions in early morbidities have been observed among VLBW infants with IVH. Ten percent of the population received surgical treatments such as external ventricular drainage (EVD) or a ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunt, with the choice of treatment methods remaining consistent over time. The IVH with surgical intervention group exhibited higher incidences of delayed development, cerebral palsy, seizure disorder, and growth failure (height, weight, and head circumference) up to 72 months of age (P < 0.0001). Surgical treatments were also significantly associated with abnormal developmental screening test results. CONCLUSIONS The neurodevelopmental outcomes of infants with IVH, especially those subjected to surgical treatments, continue to be a matter of concern. It is imperative to prioritize specialized care for patients receiving surgical treatments and closely monitor their growth and development after discharge to improve developmental prognosis.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the heterogeneous chronic lung developmental disease of prematurity, which is often accompanied by multisystem comorbidities. Pulmonary vascular disease and pulmonary hypertension (PH) contribute significantly to the pathogenesis and pathophysiology of BPD and dramatically influence the outcomes of preterm infants with BPD. When caring for those patients, clinicians should consider the multitude of phenotypic presentations that fall under the "BPD-PH umbrella," reflecting the need for matching therapies to specific physiologies to improve short- and long-term outcomes. Individualized management based on the patient's prenatal and postnatal risk factors, clinical course, and cardiopulmonary phenotype needs to be identified and prioritized to provide optimal care for infants with BPD-PH.

Abstract
The American Thoracic Society Core Curriculum updates clinicians annually in pediatric pulmonary disease. This is a summary of the Pediatric Pulmonary Medicine Core Curriculum presented at the 2023 American Thoracic Society International Conference. The respiratory disorders of infancy discussed in this year's review include: the care of the patient with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the neonatal intensive care unit, clinical phenotypes and comorbidities; diffuse lung disease; pulmonary hypertension; central and obstructive sleep apnea. The care of infants with respiratory disorders often poses significant challenges to the general pediatric pulmonologist, sleep clinician, and neonatologist. This review aims to highlight the most clinically relevant aspects of the evaluation, management, and outcomes of infants with these key respiratory disorders, while emphasizing the importance of multidisciplinary care. Furthermore, this document summarizes essential aspects of genetic testing, novel imaging and treatment modalities, and includes multiple resources for clinical practice.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia also known as chronic lung disease of prematurity has changed as a disease entity over the last five decades and children with "new bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)" have better survival rates. This necessitates strategies to prevent severe BPD and provide organized home support. Home respiratory support in these children varies from home oxygen to noninvasive ventilation and tracheostomy ventilation. This review was conducted utilizing Joanna Briggs Institute publications on evidence synthesis and presentation of results for a scoping review. The Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analyses were used to report the results. The risk of bias assessment was done using "The Cochrane Handbook for Systematic Reviews tool for interventional studies." After screening for the duplication of results and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, twenty-seven studies were assessed by reading the full texts. Out of these, eleven were finally included in this systematic review. The total sample size from all studies was 4794, including 2705 males. The 4/11 studies home oxygen, one study reported continuous positive airway pressure/bilevel positive airway pressure and seven studies used tracheostomy or tracheostomy ventilation. The median duration of post-natal invasive ventilation was higher in those discharged on home oxygen compared to those who did not need oxygen at discharge. There is a significant proportion of children who are tracheostomy ventilated (8.65%) at home. In the absence of established guidelines, these children are vulnerable when it comes to care at home and the timing of decannulation. For home oxygen alone, guidelines by ERS, ATS and BTS have streamlined weaning protocols and the need for having a multi-disciplinary team to care for these children.

Abstract
Optimal respiratory support can only be achieved if the ventilator strategy utilized for each individual patient at any given point in the evolution of their disease process is tailored to the underlying pathophysiology. The critically ill newborn infant requires individualized patient care when it comes to mechanical ventilation. This can only occur if the clinician has a good understanding of the different pathophysiologies of a variety of conditions that can lead to respiratory failure. In this chapter we describe the key pathophysiological features of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, meconium aspiration syndrome and lung hypoplasia syndromes with emphasis on congenital diaphragmatic hernia. We review available evidence to guide management an provide specific recommendations for pathophysiologically-based mechanical ventilation support.

Abstract
Respiratory management of infants with established severe BPD is difficult and there is little evidence upon which to base decisions. Nonetheless, the physiology of severe BPD is well described with a predominantly obstructive pattern. This pulmonary dysfunction results in prolonged exhalatory time constants and thus ventilator management must be focused on maintaining adequate oxygenation and ventilation through achieving full exhalation. This approach is often difficult to maintain in acute care settings and a culture of chronic care focused on slow change and steady progress is imperative. Once respiratory stability is achieved, the focus should shift to growth and development and avoidance of care practices and medications that impair neurodevelopment.

Abstract
Infants with the most severe forms of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) may require long-term invasive positive pressure ventilation for survival, therefore necessitating tracheostomy. Although life-saving, tracheostomy has also been associated with high mortality, postoperative complications, high readmission rates, neurodevelopmental impairment, and significant caregiver burden, making it a highly complex and challenging decision. However, for some infants tracheostomy may be necessary for survival and the only way to facilitate a timely and safe transition home. The specific indications for tracheostomy and the timing of the procedure in infants with severe BPD are currently unknown. Hence, centers and clinicians display broad variations in practice with regard to tracheostomy, which presents barriers to designing evidence-generating studies and establishing a consensus approach. As the incidence of severe BPD continues to rise, the question remains, how do we decide on tracheostomy to provide optimal outcomes for these patients?

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.
