Association between perinatal hypoxic-ischemia and periventricular leukomalacia in preterm infants: A systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although investigators have implicated hypoxic-ischemia (HI) as a potential cause of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL), the role of clinical risk factors or markers for HI in the development of PVL remains controversial. The aim of this study was to identify perinatal HI-related factors associated with PVL.

Method

The PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases were searched. The last search was performed on January 2017. Summary effect estimates (pooled odds ratios [ORs]) were calculated for each risk factor using fixed or random effects models with tests for heterogeneity and publication bias.

Results

Fifteen studies with a total of 12,851 participants were included in this meta-analysis, and 14 potential risk factors were analyzed. The pooled results showed that mothers with oligohydramnios (OR, 1.55; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.05 to 2.30), preterm infants with acidemia (OR, 1.87; 95% CI, 1.18 to 2.97), 1-minute Apgar score <7 (OR 2.69; 95% CI, 1.13 to 6.41), 5-minute Apgar score <7 (OR, 1.89; 95% CI, 1.39 to 2.56), apnea (OR, 1.76; 95% CI, 1.07 to 2.90), respiratory distress syndrome (OR, 1.46; 95% CI, 1.04 to 2.03), and seizures (OR, 4.60; 95% CI, 2.84 to 7.46) were associated with increased risk of PVL.

Conclusion

This study identified perinatal HI-related risk factors for the development of PVL in preterm infants. Future large-scale prospective clinical studies are required to validate and extend these findings.

Project description:BACKGROUND:Periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) is a frequent consequence of hypoxic-ischemic injury. Functional cytokine gene variants that result in altered production of inflammatory (tumor necrosis factor-alpha [TNF-?] and interleukin-1beta [IL-1?]) or anti-inflammatory (interleukin-10 [IL-10]) cytokines may modify disease processes, including PVL. OBJECTIVE:The aim of this study was to evaluate if there is a relationship between the two proinflammatory polymorphisms (TNF-?-1031T/C and IL-1?-511C/T) and the anti-inflammatory polymorphism IL-10-1082G/A and PVL risk in Brazilian newborns with and without this injury. MATERIALS AND METHODS:A cross-sectional case-control study performed at the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of the Children's Hospital and Maternity of the São José do Rio Preto Medical School (FAMERP). Fifty preterm and term newborns were examined as index cases and 50 term newborns as controls, of both sexes for both groups. DNA was extracted from peripheral blood leukocytes, and the sites that encompassed the three polymorphisms were amplified by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism. RESULTS:Gestational age ranged from 25 to 39 weeks, in the case group, and in the control group it ranged from 38 to 42.5 weeks (P<0.0001). Statistically significant association was found between TNF-?-1031T/C high expression genotype TC (odds ratio [OR], 2.495; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.10-5.63; P=0.043) as well as between genotypes (TC + CC) (OR, 2.471; 95% CI, 1.10-5.55; P=0.044) and risk of PVL. Statistically significant association was found between IL-1?-511C/T high expression genotypes (CT + TT) (OR, 23.120; 95% CI, 1.31-409.4; P=0.003) and risk of PVL. Statistically significant association between IL-10-1082G/A high expression genotype GG (OR, 0.07407; 95% CI, 0.02-0.34; P<0.0001) as well as between IL-10-1082G high expression allele (OR, 0.5098; 95% CI, 0.29-0.91; P=0,030) and PVL reduced risk was observed. There was a statistically significant association between TC/CT/GA genotype combination and the risk of PVL (OR, 6.469; 95% CI, 2.00-20.92; P=0.001). CONCLUSION:There is evidence of an association between the polymorphisms TNF-?-1031T/C, IL-1?-511C/T, and IL-10-1082G/A and PVL risk in this Brazilian newborn population studied.

Project description:CONTEXT:Whether all degrees of periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) and peri-intraventricular haemorrhage (PIVH) have a negative impact on neurodevelopment. OBJECTIVE:To determine the impact of PVL and PIVH in the incidence of cerebral palsy, sensorineural impairment and development scores in preterm neonates. Registered in PROSPERO (CRD42017073113). DATA SOURCES:PubMed, Embase, SciELO, LILACS, and Cochrane databases. STUDY SELECTION:Prospective cohort studies evaluating neurodevelopment in children born preterm which performed brain imaging in the neonatal period. DATA EXTRACTION:Two independent researchers extracted data using a predesigned data extraction sheet. STATISTICAL METHODS:A random-effects model was used, with Mantel-Haenszel approach and a Sidik-Jonkman method for the estimation of variances, combined with Hartung-Knapp-Sidik-Jonkman correction. Heterogeneity was assessed through the I2 statistic and sensitivity analysis were performed when possible. No funnel plots were generated but publication bias was discussed as a possible limitation. RESULTS:Our analysis concluded premature children with any degree of PIVH are at increased risk for cerebral palsy (CP) when compared to children with no PIVH (3.4, 95% CI 1.60-7.22; 9 studies), a finding that persisted on subgroup analysis for studies with mean birth weight of less than 1000 grams. Similarly, PVL was associated with CP, both in its cystic (19.12, 95% CI 4.57-79.90; 2 studies) and non-cystic form (9.27, 95% CI 5.93-14.50; 2 studies). We also found children with cystic PVL may be at risk for visual and hearing impairment compared to normal children, but evidence is weak. LIMITATIONS:Major limitations were the lack of data for PVL in general, especially for the outcome of neurodevelopment, the high heterogeneity among methods used to assess neurodevelopment and the small number of studies, which led to meta-analysis with high heterogeneity and wide confidence intervals. CONCLUSIONS:There was no evidence supporting the hypothesis that PIVH causes impairment in neuropsychomotor development in our meta-analysis, but review of newer studies show an increased risk for lower intelligence scores in children with severe lesions, both PIVH and PVL. There is evidence to support the hypothesis that children with any degree of PIVH, especially those born below 1000 grams and those with severe haemorrhage, are at increased risk of developing CP, as well as children with PVL, both cystic and non-cystic.

Project description:ImportanceBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease of prematurity, remains one of the major and most common complications of very preterm birth. Insight into factors associated with the pathogenesis of BPD is key to improving its prevention and treatment.ObjectiveTo perform a systematic review, meta-analysis, and metaregression of clinical studies exploring the association between chorioamnionitis (CA) and BPD in preterm infants.Data sourcesPubMed and Embase were searched without language restriction (last search, October 1, 2018). Key search terms included bronchopulmonary dysplasia, chorioamnionitis, and risk factors.Study selectionIncluded studies were peer-reviewed studies examining preterm (<37 weeks' gestation) or very low-birth-weight (<1500 g) infants and reporting primary data that could be used to measure the association between exposure to CA and the development of BPD.Data extraction and synthesisThe Meta-analysis of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (MOOSE) guideline was followed. Data were independently extracted by 2 researchers. A random-effects model was used to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and 95% CIs. Heterogeneity in effect size across studies was studied using multivariate, random-effects metaregression analysis.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was BPD, defined as supplemental oxygen requirement on postnatal day 28 (BPD28) or at the postmenstrual age of 36 weeks (BPD36). Covariates considered as potential confounders included differences between CA-exposed and CA-unexposed infants in gestational age, rates of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), exposure to antenatal corticosteroids, and rates of early- and late-onset sepsis.ResultsA total of 3170 potentially relevant studies were found, of which 158 met the inclusion criteria (244?096 preterm infants, 20?971 CA cases, and 24?335 BPD cases). Meta-analysis showed that CA exposure was significantly associated with BPD28 (65 studies; OR, 2.32; 95% CI, 1.88-2.86; P?<?.001; heterogeneity: I2?=?84%; P?<?.001) and BPD36 (108 studies; OR, 1.29; 95% CI, 1.17-1.42; P?<?.001; heterogeneity: I2?=?63%; P?<?.001). The association between CA and BPD remained significant for both clinical and histologic CA. In addition, significant differences were found between CA-exposed and CA-unexposed infants in gestational age, birth weight, odds of being small for gestational age, exposure to antenatal corticosteroids, and early- and late-onset sepsis. Chorioamnionitis was not significantly associated with RDS (48 studies; OR, 1.10; 95% CI, 0.92-1.34; P?=?.24; heterogeneity: I2?=?90%; P?<?.001), but multivariate metaregression analysis with backward elimination revealed that a model combining the difference in gestational age and the odds of RDS was associated with 64% of the variance in the association between CA and BPD36 across studies.Conclusions and relevanceThe results of this study confirm that among preterm infants, exposure to CA is associated with a higher risk of developing BPD, but this association may be modulated by gestational age and risk of RDS.
