Influence of platelet count, platelet mass index, and platelet function on the spontaneous closure of ductus arteriosus in the prematurity.
Pediatrics and Neonatology 2018 Februrary
BACKGROUND: This study aims at evaluating the influence of platelet count, platelet mass index, and platelet function on the spontaneous closure of ductus arteriosus in prematurity.
METHODS: All preterm babies were divided into two groups, including Group 1 with "open PDA" and Group 2 with "closed PDA". The variables of platelet count, mean platelet volume, platelet mass index, and platelet function were analyzed and compared between two groups of patients to identify the factors that significantly influenced spontaneous closure of ductus arteriosus.
RESULTS: Twenty-four patients were in the "open PDA" group, whereas 36 patients were in the "closed PDA" group. Mean GA and BW were 27.6 ± 1.8 (23.1-30.4) and 28 ± 1.6 (23.4-30.6) weeks and 1009 ± 270 (585-1480) g and 1035 ± 298 (505-1500) g in "open PDA" and "closed PDA" groups, respectively (p > 0.05). The incidence of "Collagen-ADP > 130 s" was significantly higher in the "open PDA" group, and the levels of hemoglobin and hematocrit were significantly lower in the "open PDA" group (p < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that respiratory distress syndrome (OR: 9, CI: 1.5-51.8) and collagen-ADP > 130 s (OR: 5.7 CI: 1.55-21.3) are two independent factors associated with ductal patency.
CONCLUSION: This is the first study in the English literature providing evidence of the influence of platelet dysfunction on the spontaneous closure of ductus arteriosus in prematurity. Longer collagen-ADP duration is identified as a risk factor of ductal closure.
