Neonatal intermittent hypoxemia events are associated with diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia at 36 weeks postmenstrual age.
Pediatric Research 2019 Februrary
BACKGROUND: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease and major pulmonary complication after premature birth. We have previously shown that increased intermittent hypoxemia (IH) events have been correlated to adverse outcomes and mortality in extremely premature infants. We hypothesize that early IH patterns are associated with the development of BPD.
METHODS: IH frequency, duration, and nadirs were assessed using oxygen saturation (SpO2 ) waveforms in a retrospective cohort of 137 extremely premature newborns (<28 weeks gestation). Daily levels of inspired oxygen and mean airway pressure exposures were also recorded.
RESULTS: Diagnosis of BPD at 36 weeks postmenstrual age was associated with increased daily IH, longer IH duration, and a higher IH nadir. Significant differences were detected through day 7 to day 26 of life. Infants who developed BPD had lower mean SpO2 despite their exposure to increased inspired oxygen and increased mean airway pressure.
CONCLUSIONS: BPD was associated with more frequent, longer, and less severe IH events in addition to increased oxygen and pressure exposure within the first 26 days of life. Early IH patterns may contribute to the development of BPD or aid in identification of neonates at high risk.
