Abstract Objective There is a dilemma of ibuprofen treatment with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) as to how and when to treat. We aimed to clarify this issue in very preterm infants (VPIs; < 32 weeks). Methods This retrospective study included 1 659 VPIs who were diagnosed with PDA according to echocardiographic examinations and cardiovascular dysfunction scoring system (the CVD scoring). The VPIs were classified into six groups (A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, and B3) based on CVD scores (A, < 3, and B, ≥ 3), and treatment with ibuprofen for PDA (1, conservational management; 2, early ibuprofen treatment; and 3, late ibuprofen treatment). Treatment was stopped when PDA was closed, CVD score was zero or PDA needed ligation. Results VPIs with CVD scores < 3 had most PDA closure without surgery, and early ibuprofen treatment did not significantly affect PDA closure. VPIs with CVD scores ≥ 3 had some PDA closure after 2 courses of treatment, but closure rates decreased linearly with ibuprofen course (1st 75.2%, 2nd 62.3%, 3rd 50.0%, P < 0.0001), and early ibuprofen treatment (group B2) did not increase PDA closure compared to late ibuprofen treatment (group B3). In these same infants, the longer they were in CVD scores ≥ 3, the more the complications of preterm were increased (retinopathy of prematurity ROP 1st 16.5%, 2nd 23.8%, 3rd 29.6%, P = 0.016; bronchopulmonary dysplasia BPD 1st 15.5%, 2nd 26.7%, 3rd 33.8%, P < 0.0001; intraventricular hemorrhage IVH 1st 20.4%, 2nd 32.4%, 3rd 23.8%, P = 0.015). Conclusion Ibuprofen is suggested for PDA closure when the PDA reopens or has developed into the stage when the CVD score ≥ 3.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of a nursing intervention bundle, applied during the first 72 hours of life, on the incidence of germinal matrix-intraventricular haemorrhage (GMH-IVH) in very preterm infants.DesignMulticentre cohort study.SettingTwo Dutch tertiary neonatal intensive care units.PatientsThe intervention group consisted of 281 neonates, whereas 280 infants served as historical controls (gestational age for both groups <30 weeks).InterventionsAfter a training period, the nursing intervention bundle was implemented and applied during the first 72 hours after birth. The bundle consisted of maintaining the head in the midline, tilting the head of the incubator and avoidance of flushing/rapid withdrawal of blood and sudden elevation of the legs.Main outcome measuresThe incidence of GMH-IVH occurring and/or increasing after the first ultrasound (but within 72 hours), cystic periventricular leukomalacia and/or in-hospital death was the primary composite outcome measure. Logistic regression analysis was used to explore differences between groups.ResultsThe nursing intervention bundle was associated with a lower risk of developing a GMH-IVH (any degree), cystic periventricular leukomalacia and/or mortality (adjusted OR 0.42, 95% CI 0.27 to 0.65). In the group receiving the bundle, also severe GMH-IVH, cystic periventricular leukomalacia and/or death were less often observed (adjusted OR 0.54, 95% CI 0.33 to 0.91).ConclusionsThe application of a bundle of nursing interventions is associated with reduced risk of developing a new/progressive (severe) GMH-IVH, cystic periventricular leukomalacia and/or mortality in very preterm infants when applied during the first 72 hours postnatally.
