Prolonged respiratory support of any type impacts outcomes of extremely low birth weight infants.

ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVES:This study tested the hypothesis that longer duration of any type of respiratory support is associated with an increased rate of death or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 18-22 months. METHODS:Retrospective cohort study using the Generic Database of NICHD Neonatal Research Network from 2006 to 2010. Infants were born at <27 weeks gestational age with birth weights of 401-1000?g. Respiratory support received during initial hospitalization from birth was characterized as follows: no support, only invasive support, only non-invasive support or mixed invasive, and non-invasive support. The primary outcome was death after 24?h of life or NDI at 18-22 months corrected age. RESULTS:In a cohort of 3651 infants, 1494 (40.9%) died or had NDI. Cumulative respiratory support of any type beyond 60 days was associated with the likelihood of death or NDI. Infants who only received invasive support had the highest rate (89.1%), followed by those received mixed support (26.1%). Infants who received only non-invasive support had the lowest rate (7.7%). When compared to the only non-invasive support group, both invasive [OR 62.7 (95%CI 25.7, 152.6)] and mixed [OR 6.1 (95%CI 2.6, 14.4)] support groups were significantly more likely to die or have NDI. CONCLUSION:Prolonged respiratory support, whether invasive or non-invasive, is associated with increased odds of a poor outcome. The proportion of infants with a poor outcome increased in a dose dependent manner by two factors: the cumulative duration of respiratory support beyond 60 days, and the extent to which invasive support is provided.

Project description:ImportanceExtubation failure is common in extremely preterm infants. The current paucity of data on the adverse long-term respiratory outcomes associated with reinitiation of mechanical ventilation prevents assessment of the risks and benefits of a trial of extubation in this population.ObjectiveTo evaluate whether exposure to multiple courses of mechanical ventilation increases the risk of adverse respiratory outcomes before and after adjustment for the cumulative duration of mechanical ventilation.Design, setting, and participantsWe performed a retrospective cohort study of extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW; birth weight <1000 g) infants born from January 1, 2006, through December 31, 2012, who were receiving mechanical ventilation. Analysis was conducted between November 2014 and February 2015. Data were obtained from the Alere Neonatal Database.ExposuresThe primary study exposures were the cumulative duration of mechanical ventilation and the number of ventilation courses.Main outcomes and measuresThe primary outcome was bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) among survivors. Secondary outcomes were death, use of supplemental oxygen at discharge, and tracheostomy.ResultsWe identified 3343 ELBW infants, of whom 2867 (85.8%) survived to discharge. Among the survivors, 1695 (59.1%) were diagnosed as having BPD, 856 (29.9%) received supplemental oxygen at discharge, and 31 (1.1%) underwent tracheostomy. Exposure to a greater number of mechanical ventilation courses was associated with a progressive increase in the risk of BPD and use of supplemental oxygen at discharge. Compared with a single ventilation course, the adjusted odds ratios for BPD ranged from 1.88 (95% CI, 1.54-2.31) among infants with 2 ventilation courses to 3.81 (95% CI, 2.88-5.04) among those with 4 or more courses. After adjustment for the cumulative duration of mechanical ventilation, the odds of BPD were only increased among infants exposed to 4 or more ventilation courses (adjusted odds ratio, 1.44; 95% CI, 1.04-2.01). The number of ventilation courses was not associated with increased risk of supplemental oxygen use at discharge after adjustment for the length of ventilation. A greater number of ventilation courses did not increase the risk of tracheostomy.Conclusions and relevanceAmong ELBW infants, a longer cumulative duration of mechanical ventilation largely accounts for the increased risk of chronic respiratory morbidity associated with reinitiation of mechanical ventilation. These results support attempts of extubation in ELBW infants receiving mechanical ventilation on low ventilator settings, even when success is not guaranteed.

Project description:Introduction Previous studies have explored factors that influence the occurrence of hypothermia in very low/extremely low birth weight (VLBW/ELBW) infants, but the factors associated with hypothermia in VLBW or ELBW infants remain inadequately evaluated due to limited prospective data and inconsistency in study populations. Therefore, it is necessary to systematically evaluate the risk factors of hypothermia in VLBW/ELBW infants in order to provide a theoretical basis for clinical practice. Methods PubMed and other databases were used to search for case-control or cohort studies on factors influencing the occurrence of hypothermia in VLBW/ELBW infants. The search time was set from database creation to June 30th, 2022. Literature screening, quality evaluation, and data extraction were performed independently by two investigators according to predefined inclusion and exclusion criteria. Meta-analysis was performed using RevMan 5.3. Results A total of 10 papers were finally included in this study and 12 factors were established by meta-analysis: body weight (six papers), failure to keep warm in time (three papers), neonatal resuscitation (seven papers), gestational age (three papers), premature rupture of membranes (three papers), maternal combined complications (four papers), cesarean section (six papers), antenatal steroids (four papers), multiple birth (two papers), small for gestational age (two papers), 1 min Apgar score (three papers), and 5 min Apgar score (three papers). Since only one study included race, age (hour), socio-economic status, and spontaneous labor, these factors could not be fitted into RevMan 5.3 for the analysis. Conclusion Although there were differences in the study design of the included literature, the influencing factors described in each study were relatively similar. The influencing factors identified in this study may contribute to the construction of related intervention strategies for hypothermia in VLBW/ELBW infants.
