SUMMARYThe aim of this study was to describe the incidence and risk factors for respiratory morbidity during the 12-month period following the first respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) season in 242 preterm infants [<33 weeks gestational age (GA)] without bronchopulmonary dysplasia and 201 full-term infants (39–41 weeks GA) from the French CASTOR study cohort. Preterm infants had increased respiratory morbidity during the follow-up period compared to full-terms; they were more likely to have wheezing (21% vs. 11%, P = 0·007) and recurrent wheezing episodes (4% vs. 1%, P = 0·049). The 17 infants (14 preterms, three full-terms) who had been hospitalized for RSV-confirmed bronchiolitis during their first RSV season had significantly more wheezing episodes during the follow-up period than subjects who had not been hospitalized for RSV-confirmed bronchiolitis (odds ratio 4·72, 95% confidence interval 1·71–13·08, P = 0·003). Male gender, birth weight <3330 g and hospitalization for RSV bronchiolitis during the infant's first RSV season were independent risk factors for the development of wheezing episodes during the subsequent 12-month follow-up period.

Osteopenia Of Prematurity

Background. Prematurity is one of the major health problems and common causes of neonatal mortality. One of the complications of premature infants is hyponatremia. The effect of hyponatremia on the prognosis of preterm infants has not been well studied. This study aimed to evaluate infants with late hyponatremia, its risk factors, and prognosis. Methods. This descriptive analytical study reviewed preterm infants (<34 weeks) admitted to Al-Zahra or Children’s Hospital in Tabriz for one year (2019). Neonates diagnosed with hyponatremia after the second week were identified and evaluated for risk factors and short-term outcome. Results. A total of 186 neonates were studied. The mean gestational age of the neonates was 30 weeks (first and third quarters = 29-32 weeks). 101 (54.3%) infants were male. The route of delivery was the cesarean section in 60.7% of cases. Late hyponatremia was present in 50 (26.8 %) infants. Gestational age and birth weight were significantly lower in infants with hyponatremia than in the control group. Multivariate analysis showed that low birth weight, the use of prenatal steroids, and inappropriate weight for gestational age status independently predict the incidence of late hyponatremia. There was a significant relationship between the presence of prolonged late hyponatremia (over 7 days) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia and osteopenia of prematurity. However, no significant association was found between the presence of prolonged late hyponatremia in preterm infants with the length of hospital stay and in-hospital mortality. Conclusion. Based on the findings of this study, low birth weight, prenatal steroid use, and lack of appropriate weight for gestational age were risk factors for late hyponatremia in preterm infants. Prolonged hyponatremia is associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia and osteopenia of prematurity

Syncytial Virus

IntroductionBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease diagnosed in premature infants, which may cause severe respiratory failure due to respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection. The aim of this study was to assess the incidence and severity of BPD in infants born before 28 weeks of gestational age (GA) enrolled into the Polish National Program for RSV Prophylaxis (PNPRSVP).Material and methodsA retrospective analysis of data on children born in 2013 included in a prophylaxis program during the seasons 2012–2013 and 2013–2014. The following data were evaluated: the need for oxygen therapy for at least 28 days and the need for oxygen therapy at 36 weeks of postmenstrual age (PMA).ResultsThe analysis was carried out in a group of 603 children, who constituted 87.7% of the population entitled to prophylactic administration of palivizumab. BPD was diagnosed in 80.9% of extremely preterm infants; however, in 70.7% of cases the disease was mild. The risk factors for the development of BPD were GA, birth weight and birth weight below the 10th centile for GA. During the program, the median number of doses received was 5 (range 1–5), and 82.3% of children received all of the expected doses.ConclusionsAlthough the incidence of BPD in extremely preterm infants was high, mainly its mild form was recognized. Monitoring of the incidence of the disease and identifying the risk factors can be carried out effectively based on long-term data collected during the PNPRSVP.

Aim: To identify the risk factors associated with the development of tracheobronchomalacia (TBM) in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study using chart reviews of preterm infants born at ≤ 36 week's gestation who underwent flexible fiberoptic bronchoscopy in a tertiary pediatric referral center between January 2015 and January 2020. Indications for the bronchoscopy examination included lobar atelectasis on plain chest film, persistent CO2 retention, recurrent extubation failure, or abnormal breathing sounds such as wheeze or stridor. Optimal cutoff values for each risk factor were also determined.Results: Fifty-eight preterm infants with BPD were enrolled, of whom 29 (50%) had TBM. There were no significant differences in gestational age and birth weight between those with and without TBM. Significantly more of the patients with TBM had severe BPD compared to those without TBM (68.9 vs. 20.6%, p &lt; 0.001). Clinical parameters that were significantly different between the two groups were included in multivariate analysis. Among these factors, severe BPD was the most powerful risk factor for the development of TBM (odds ratio 5.57, 95% confidence interval 1.32–23.5, p = 0.019). The areas under the receiver operating characteristic curves for peak inspiratory pressure (PIP) and the duration of intubation were 0.788 and 0.75, respectively. The best predictive cutoff values of PIP and duration of intubation for TBM were 18.5 mmHg and 82 days, respectively.Conclusion: Preterm infants with severe BPD are at high risk for the development of TBM, and the risk is even higher in those who receive a higher PIP or are intubated for longer. Bronchoscopy examinations should be considered for the early diagnosis and management of TBM in infants with these risk factors.
