Project description:Rationale: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a heterogenous condition with poorly characterized disease subgroups.Objectives: To define the frequency of three disease components: moderate-severe parenchymal disease, pulmonary hypertension (PH), or large airway disease, in a referral cohort of preterm infants with severe BPD. The association between each component and a primary composite outcome of death before hospital discharge, tracheostomy, or home pulmonary vasodilator therapy was assessed.Methods: This was a retrospective, single-center cohort study of infants born at <32 weeks' gestation with severe BPD who underwent both chest computed tomography with angiography (CTA) and echocardiography between 40 and 50 weeks postmenstrual age between 2011 and 2015. Moderate-severe parenchymal lung disease was defined as an Ochiai score ≥8 on CTA. PH was diagnosed by echocardiogram using standard criteria. Large airway disease was defined as tracheomalacia or bronchomalacia on bronchoscopy and/or tracheoscopy or CTA.Measurements and Main Results: Of 76 evaluated infants, 73 (96%) were classifiable into phenotypic subgroups: 57 with moderate-severe parenchymal disease, 48 with PH, and 44 with large airway disease. The presence of all three disease components was most common (n = 23). Individually, PH and large airway disease, but not moderate-severe parenchymal disease, were associated with increased risk for the primary study outcome. Having more disease components was associated with an incremental increase in the risk for the primary outcome (2 vs. 1: odds ratio, 4.9; 95% confidence interval, 1.4-17.2 and 3 vs. 1: odds ratio, 12.8; 95% confidence interval, 2.4-70.0).Conclusions: Infants with severe BPD are variable in their predominant pathophysiology. Disease phenotyping may enable better risk stratification and targeted therapeutic intervention.

Project description:OBJECTIVE:To characterize in-hospital outcomes of premature infants diagnosed with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). STUDY DESIGN:Retrospective cohort study including premature infants with severe BPD discharged from 348 Pediatrix Medical Group neonatal intensive care units from 1997 to 2015. RESULTS:There were 10?752 infants with severe BPD, and 549/10?752 (5%) died before discharge. Infants who died were more likely to be male, small for gestational age, have received more medical interventions and more frequently diagnosed with surgical necrotizing enterocolitis, culture-proven sepsis and pulmonary hypertension following 36 weeks of postmenstrual age compared with survivors. Approximately 70% of infants with severe BPD were discharged by 44 weeks of postmenstrual age, and 86% were discharged by 48 weeks of postmenstrual age. CONCLUSIONS:A majority of infants diagnosed with severe BPD were discharged home by 44 weeks of postmenstrual age. These results may inform discussions with families regarding the expected hospital course of infants diagnosed with severe BPD.

Project description:Rationale: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia increases the risk of disability in extremely preterm infants. Although the pathophysiology remains uncertain, prior exposure to intermittent hypoxemia may play a role in this relationship. Objectives: To determine the association between prolonged episodes of intermittent hypoxemia and severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia. Methods: A post hoc analysis of extremely preterm infants in the Canadian Oxygen Trial who survived to 36 weeks' postmenstrual age was performed. Oxygen saturations <80% for ⩾1 minute and the proportion of time per day with hypoxemia were quantified using continuous pulse oximetry data that had been sampled every 10 seconds from within 24 hours of birth until 36 weeks' postmenstrual age. The study outcome was severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia as defined in the 2001 NIH Workshop Summary. Measurements and Main Results: Of 1,018 infants, 332 (32.6%) developed severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The median number of hypoxemic episodes ranged from 0.8/day (interquartile range, 0.2-1.1) to 60.2/day (interquartile range, 51.4-70.3) among the least and most affected 10% of infants. Compared with the lowest decile of exposure to hypoxemic episodes, the adjusted relative risk of severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia increased progressively from 1.72 (95% confidence interval, 1.55-1.90) at the 2nd decile to 20.40 (95% confidence interval, 12.88-32.32) at the 10th decile. Similar risk gradients were observed for time in hypoxemia. Significant differences in the rates of hypoxemia between infants with and without severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia emerged within the first week after birth. Conclusions: Prolonged intermittent hypoxemia beginning in the first week after birth was associated with an increased risk of developing severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia among extremely preterm infants.

Project description:Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is characterized by alveolar-capillary simplification and is associated with pulmonary hypertension (PH) in preterm infants. The contribution of left ventricle (LV) disease towards this severe BPD-PH phenotype is not well established. We aimed to describe the longitudinal trajectory of the LV function as measured by tissue Doppler imaging (TDI) and its association with BPD-PH. We retrospectively assessed prospectively acquired clinical and echocardiographic data from 77 preterm infants born between 2011 and 2013. We characterized the LV function by measuring systolic and diastolic myocardial velocities (s', e', a'), isovolumetric relaxation time (IVRT), and myocardial performance index with TDI at three time periods from 32 and 36 weeks, postmenstrual age through one year of age. We also measured post systolic motion (PSM), a marker of myocardial dysfunction that results from asynchronous movement of the ventricular walls, and not previously described in preterm infants. Patients were stratified into groups according to BPD severity and the presence of PH and compared over time. Conventional TDI measures of the LV function were similar between groups, but the septal PSM was significantly prolonged over the first year of age in patients with BPD-PH. PSM provides a novel objective way to assess the hemodynamic impact of lung and pulmonary vascular disease severity on LV function in preterm infants with BPD and PH.

Project description:Premature infants are at high risk for developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), characterized by chronic inflammation and inhibition of lung development, which we have recently identified as being modulated by microRNAs (miRNAs) and alterations in the airway microbiome. Exosomes and exosomal miRNAs may regulate cell differentiation and tissue and organ development. We discovered that tracheal aspirates from infants with severe BPD had increased numbers of, but smaller, exosomes compared with term controls. Similarly, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid from hyperoxia-exposed mice (an animal model of BPD) and supernatants from hyperoxia-exposed human bronchial epithelial cells (in vitro model of BPD) had increased exosomes compared with air controls. Next, in a prospective cohort study of tracheal aspirates obtained at birth from extremely preterm infants, utilizing independent discovery and validation cohorts, we identified unbiased exosomal miRNA signatures predictive of severe BPD. The strongest signal of reduced miR-876-3p in BPD-susceptible compared with BPD-resistant infants was confirmed in the animal model and in vitro models of BPD. In addition, based on our recent discovery of increased Proteobacteria in the airway microbiome being associated with BPD, we developed potentially novel in vivo and in vitro models for BPD combining Proteobacterial LPS and hyperoxia exposure. Addition of LPS led to a larger reduction in exosomal miR 876-3p in both hyperoxia and normoxia compared with hyperoxia alone, thus indicating a potential mechanism by which alterations in microbiota can suppress miR 876-3p. Gain of function of miR 876-3p improved the alveolar architecture in the in vivo BPD model, demonstrating a causal link between miR 876-3p and BPD. In summary, we provide evidence for the strong predictive biomarker potential of miR 876-3p in severe BPD. We also provide insights on the pathogenesis of neonatal lung disease, as modulated by hyperoxia and microbial product-induced changes in exosomal miRNA 876-3p, which could be targeted for future therapeutic development.

Project description:BackgroundSome infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (sBPD) are referred to higher-level centers for multidisciplinary care, including the pediatric intensive care unit (PICU). However, information regarding these infants is limited in PICUs.MethodsWe investigated the characteristics and outcomes of preterm infants with sBPD referred to the PICU of a tertiary hospital. This retrospective cohort study included 14 preterm infants with sBPD who were transferred to the PICU beyond 40 weeks' postmenstrual age (PMA) because of weaning failure, from January 1, 2014, to September 30, 2018.ResultsThe median age at referral was 47.1 weeks (range, 43.6-55.9 weeks), and the median length of stay in the previous neonatal intensive care unit was 154 days (range, 105.8-202.3 days) after birth. After referral the following major comorbidities were found in the patients: large airway malacia, n = 7 (50.0%); significant upper airway obstruction, n = 3 (21.4%); and pulmonary arterial hypertension, n = 8 patients (57.1%). Finally, eight patients (57.1%) were successfully extubated without tracheostomy. Final respiratory support of the patients was determined at a median PMA of 56 weeks (range, 48-63 weeks). Age at referral (P = 0.023) and large airway obstruction (P = 0.028) were significantly related to a decrease in successful extubation.ConclusionBased on a timely and individualized multidisciplinary approach, some of the prolonged ventilator-dependent infants, even those beyond term age, could be successfully extubated.

Project description:IntroductionThe remarkable improvement in the long-term prognosis of extremely premature infants has led to an increase in the number of cases of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). BPD affects pulmonary function and developmental outcomes, resulting in high chronic health burdens for infants and their families over the years. Therefore, identifying its risk factors in the early period of life and exploring better prophylactics and treatment strategies are important.The objectives of our scoping review are to screen available evidence, identify perinatal risk factors involved in the development and severity of BPD and devise a novel disease classification system that can predict long-term prognosis.Methods and analysisEligibility criteria are as follows: articles published from 2002 to 2021; studies conducted in developed countries; articles written in English (PubMed) or Japanese (Ichushi); randomised controlled trials, prospective/retrospective cohort studies or case-control studies; extremely premature infants born before 28 weeks of gestational age; and articles in which endpoint was severe BPD as classified by the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.We will screen the titles and abstracts of studies identified by independent reviewers using the population-concept-context framework. After a full-text review and data charting, we will provide the perinatal risk factors for severe BPD along with the risk ratio or odds ratio, 95% confidence interval and p values.Ethics and disseminationInstitutional review board approval is not required due to the nature of the study. The results of this review will be disseminated through peer-reviewed publications and presentations at relevant conferences.Protocol V.1, 22 September 2021 TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER: UMIN000045529.

Project description:ObjectivesTo assess the effect of pulmonary hypertension on neonatal intensive care unit mortality and hospital readmission through 1 year of corrected age in a large multicenter cohort of infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia.Study designThis was a multicenter, retrospective cohort study of 1677 infants born <32 weeks of gestation with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia enrolled in the Children's Hospital Neonatal Consortium with records linked to the Pediatric Health Information System.ResultsPulmonary hypertension occurred in 370 out of 1677 (22%) infants. During the neonatal admission, pulmonary hypertension was associated with mortality (OR 3.15, 95% CI 2.10-4.73, P < .001), ventilator support at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age (60% vs 40%, P < .001), duration of ventilation (72 IQR 30-124 vs 41 IQR 17-74 days, P < .001), and higher respiratory severity score (3.6 IQR 0.4-7.0 vs 0.8 IQR 0.3-3.3, P < .001). At discharge, pulmonary hypertension was associated with tracheostomy (27% vs 9%, P < .001), supplemental oxygen use (84% vs 61%, P < .001), and tube feeds (80% vs 46%, P < .001). Through 1 year of corrected age, pulmonary hypertension was associated with increased frequency of readmission (incidence rate ratio [IRR] = 1.38, 95% CI 1.18-1.63, P < .001).ConclusionsInfants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia-associated pulmonary hypertension have increased morbidity and mortality through 1 year of corrected age. This highlights the need for improved diagnostic practices and prospective studies evaluating treatments for this high-risk population.

Project description:Anemia is commonly seen in preterm infants. It may reduce the capacity of hemoglobin to transport oxygen throughout the body and may result in tissue and organ dysfunction. This study aimed to investigate the effect of anemia on the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants. 243 infants who were admitted to BaYi Children's Hospital Affiliated to Clinical Medical College in Beijing Military General Hospital with gestational age (GA) less than 32 weeks from February, 2014 to February, 2015 were included in the study. Maternal and infant data were recorded. Multivarariate logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the association between anemia and BPD. Of 243 preterm infants, the incidence of anemia was higher in BPD patients than non-BPD patients (p < 0.001). Mean Hct in BPD patients was lower than non-BPD patients at different time points in 1d, 7d, 14d, and 21d. Controlling for other confounding factors, early anemia was associated with an increased risk of BPD. Number of transfusions is also a significant risk factor for BPD (p = 0.001). Therefore, prevention and treatment of early anemia is necessary and reducing number of transfusions may reduce the incidence of BPD in preterm infants.
