Abstract

To examine the frequency of placental abnormalities in a multicenter cohort of newborn infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and to determine the association between acuity of placental abnormalities and clinical characteristics of HIE.Infants born at ≥36 weeks of gestation (n = 500) with moderate or severe HIE were enrolled in the High-dose Erythropoietin for Asphyxia and Encephalopathy Trial. A placental pathologist blinded to clinical information reviewed clinical pathology reports to determine the presence of acute and chronic placental abnormalities using a standard classification system.Complete placental pathologic examination was available for 321 of 500 (64%) trial participants. Placental abnormalities were identified in 273 of 321 (85%) and were more common in infants ≥40 weeks of gestation (93% vs 81%, P = .01). A combination of acute and chronic placental abnormalities (43%) was more common than either acute (20%) or chronic (21%) abnormalities alone. Acute abnormalities included meconium staining of the placenta (41%) and histologic chorioamnionitis (39%). Chronic abnormalities included maternal vascular malperfusion (25%), villitis of unknown etiology (8%), and fetal vascular malperfusion (6%). Infants with chronic placental abnormalities exhibited a greater mean base deficit at birth (-15.9 vs -14.3, P = .049) than those without such abnormalities. Patients with HIE and acute placental lesions had older mean gestational ages (39.1 vs 38.0, P .001) and greater rates of clinically diagnosed chorioamnionitis (25% vs 2%, P .001) than those without acute abnormalities.Combined acute and chronic placental abnormalities were common in this cohort of infants with HIE, underscoring the complex causal pathways of HIE.ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT02811263.

Abstract

Recently, two randomized controlled, prospective trials, the Tracheal Occlusion to Accelerate Lung Growth (TOTAL) trials, reported the outcomes on fetal endoluminal tracheal occlusion (FETO) for isolated left congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH). FETO significantly improved outcomes for severe hypoplasia. The effect in moderate cases, where the balloon was inserted later in pregnancy, did not reach significance. In a pooled analysis investigating the effect of the heterogeneity of the treatment effect by the time point of occlusion and severity, the difference may be explained by a difference in the duration of occlusion. Nevertheless, FETO carries a significant risk of preterm birth. The primary objective of this review is to provide an overview of the rationale for fetal intervention in CDH and the results of the randomized trials. The secondary objective is to discuss the technical aspects of FETO. Finally, recent developments of potential alternative fetal approaches will be highlighted.

Abstract

Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is now well established as the standard of care treatment for moderate to severe neonatal encephalopathy secondary to perinatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in infants ≥36 weeks gestation in high income countries. The Neonatal Research Network (NRN) contributed greatly to the study of TH as a neuroprotectant with three trials now completed in infants ≥36 weeks gestation and the only large randomized-controlled trial of TH in preterm infants now in the follow-up phase. Data from the first NRN TH trial combined with data from other large trials of TH affirm the safety and neuroprotective qualities of TH and highlight the importance of providing TH to all infants who qualify. In this review we will highlight the findings of the three NRN trials of TH in the term infant population and the secondary analyses that continue to inform the care of patients with HIE.

Abstract

To determine in-hospital morbidities for neonates with right-sided congenital diaphragmatic hernia (R-CDH) compared with those with left-sided defects (L-CDH) and to examine the differential effect of laterality and defect size on morbidities.This retrospective, multicenter, cohort study from the international Congenital Diaphragmatic Hernia Study Group registry collected data from neonates with CDH surviving until hospital discharge from 90 neonatal intensive care units between January 1, 2007, and July 31, 2020. Major pulmonary, cardiac, neurologic, and gastrointestinal morbidities were compared between neonates with L-CDH and R-CDH, adjusted for prenatal and postnatal factors using logistic regression.Of 4123 survivors with CDH, those with R-CDH (n = 598 [15%]) compared with those with L-CDH (n = 3525 [85%]) had an increased odds of pulmonary (1.7; 95% CI, 1.4-2.2, P .0001), cardiac (1.4; 95% CI, 1.1-1.8; P = .01), gastrointestinal (1.3; 95% CI, 1.1-1.6; P = .01), and multiple (1.6; 95% CI, 1.2-2.0; P .001) in-hospital morbidities, with a greater likelihood of morbidity with increasing defect size. There was no difference in neurologic morbidities between the groups.Neonates with R-CDH and a larger defect size are at an increased risk for in-hospital morbidities. Counseling and clinical strategies should incorporate knowledge of these risks, and approach to neonatal R-CDH should be distinct from current practices targeted to L-CDH.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effects of early treatment with CPAP on nutritional intake and in-hospital growth rates of extremely preterm (EPT) infants. STUDY DESIGN: EPT infants (24–0/7 to 27–6/7 weeks of gestation) enrolled in the Surfactant Positive Airway Pressure and Pulse Oximetry Trial (SUPPORT) were included. EPT infants who died before 36 weeks’ postmenstrual age (PMA) were excluded. The growth rates from birth to 36 weeks’ PMA and follow-up outcomes at 18–22 months’ corrected age of EPT infants randomized at birth to either early CPAP (intervention group) or early intubation for surfactant administration (control group) were analyzed. RESULTS: 810 of 1316 infants enrolled in SUPPORT (414 in intervention group, 396 in control group) had growth data analyzed. Median gestational age was 26 weeks and mean birthweight was 839 grams. Baseline characteristics, total nutritional intake, and in-hospital comorbidities were not significantly different between groups. In a regression model, growth rates between birth and 36 weeks’ PMA as well as growth rates during multiple intervals from birth to day 7, day 7 to14, day 14 to 21, day 21 to 28, day 28 to 32 weeks’ PMA, and 32 weeks’ PMA to 36 weeks’ PMA did not differ between treatment groups. Independent of treatment group, higher growth rates from day 21 to day 28 were associated with a lower risk of Bayley III cognitive score

Abstract

Objective To investigate if magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is an accurate predictor for death or moderate-severe disability at 18-22 months of age among infants with neonatal encephalopathy in a trial of cooling initiated at 6-24 hours. Study design Subgroup analysis of infants ≥36 weeks of gestation with moderate-severe neonatal encephalopathy randomized at 6-24 postnatal hours to hypothermia or usual care in a multicenter trial of late hypothermia. MRI scans were performed per each center's practice and interpreted by 2 central readers using the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development injury score (6 levels, normal to hemispheric devastation). Neurodevelopmental outcomes were assessed at 18-22 months of age. Results Of 168 enrollees, 128 had an interpretable MRI and were seen in follow-up (n = 119) or died (n = 9). MRI findings were predominantly acute injury and did not differ by cooling treatment. At 18-22 months, death or severe disability occurred in 20.3%. No infant had moderate disability. Agreement between central readers was moderate (weighted kappa 0.56, 95% CI 0.45-0.67). The adjusted odds of death or severe disability increased 3.7-fold (95% CI 1.8-7.9) for each increment of injury score. The area under the curve for severe MRI patterns to predict death or severe disability was 0.77 and the positive and negative predictive values were 36% and 100%, respectively. Conclusions MRI injury scores were associated with neurodevelopmental outcome at 18-22 months among infants in the Late Hypothermia Trial. However, the results suggest caution when using qualitative interpretations of MRI images to provide prognostic information to families following perinatal hypoxia–ischemia.

Abstract

Unpublished results can bias biomedical literature, favoring positive over negative findings, primary over secondary analyses, and can lead to duplicate studies that unnecessarily endanger subjects and waste resources. The Neonatal Research Networkʼs (NRN) publication policies for approving, reviewing, and tracking abstracts and papers work to combat these problems. In 2003, the NRN restricted investigators with unfinished manuscripts from proposing new ones and in 2010, urged authors to complete long-outstanding manuscripts. Data from 1991 to 2015 were analyzed to determine effectiveness of these policy changes. The NRN has achieved an overall publication rate of 78% for abstracts. For 1990–2002, of 137 abstracts presented, 43 (31%) were published within 2 years; for 2003–2009, after the manuscript completion policy was instituted, of 140 abstracts presented, 68 (49%) were published within 2 years. Following the effort in 2010, the rate increased to 64%. The NRN surpassed reported rates by developing a comprehensive process, holding investigators accountable and tracking abstracts from presentation to publication.

Abstract

To determine if decreased cerebral oxygenation or altered cerebral autoregulation as measured by near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) in the first 96 postnatal hours is associated with an increased risk of death or severe neuroradiographic abnormalities in very preterm infants.The Early NIRS prospective, multicenter study enrolled very preterm infants with a birth weight of1250 g from 6 tertiary neonatal intensive care units. Mean arterial blood pressure and cerebral oxygen saturation (Csat) were continuously monitored using a neonatal sensor until 96 hours of age. Moving window correlations between Csat and mean arterial blood pressure determined time periods with altered cerebral autoregulation, and percentiles of correlation were compared between infants with and without the adverse outcome of mortality or severe neuroradiographic abnormalities by early cranial ultrasound.Of 103 subjects with mean gestational age of 26 weeks, 21 (20%) died or had severe neuroradiographic abnormalities. Infants with adverse outcomes had a lower mean Csat (67 ± 9%) compared with those without adverse outcomes (72 ± 7%; P = .02). A Csat of50% was identified as a cut-point for identifying infants with adverse outcome (area under the curve, 0.76). Infants with adverse outcomes were more likely to have significant positive or negative correlations between Csat and mean arterial blood pressure, indicating impaired cerebral autoregulation (P = .006).Early NIRS monitoring may detect periods of lower cerebral oxygenation and altered cerebral autoregulation, identifying preterm infants at risk for mortality or neuroradiographic injury. An improved understanding of the relationship between altered hemodynamics and cerebral oxygenation may inform future strategies to prevent brain injury.

Abstract

Objective To assess outcomes following post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) among infants born at ≤26 weeks of gestation. Study design Observational study of infants born April 1, 2011, to December 31, 2015, in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network and categorized into 3 groups: PHVD, intracranial hemorrhage without ventricular dilatation, or normal head ultrasound. PHVD was treated per center practice. Neurodevelopmental impairment at 18-26 months was defined by cerebral palsy, Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, 3rd edition, cognitive or motor score Results Of 4216 infants, 815 had PHVD, 769 had hemorrhage without ventricular dilatation, and 2632 had normal head ultrasounds. Progressive dilatation occurred among 119 of 815 infants; the initial intervention in 66 infants was reservoir placement and 53 had ventriculoperitoneal shunt placement. Death or impairment occurred among 68%, 39%, and 28% of infants with PHVD, hemorrhage without dilatation, and normal head ultrasound, respectively; aOR (95% CI) were 4.6 (3.8-5.7) PHVD vs normal head ultrasound scan and 2.98 (2.3-3.8) for PHVD vs hemorrhage without dilatation. Death or impairment was more frequent with intervention for progressive dilatation vs no intervention (80% vs 65%; aOR 2.2 [1.38-3.8]). Death or impairment increased with parenchymal hemorrhage, intervention for PHVD, male sex, and surgery for retinopathy; odds decreased with each additional gestational week. Conclusions PHVD was associated with high rates of death or impairment among infants with gestational ages ≤26 weeks; risk was further increased among those with progressive ventricular dilation requiring intervention.

Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) continues to be an important rescue therapy for newborns with a variety of causes of cardio-respiratory failure unresponsive to high-frequency ventilation, surfactant replacement, and inhaled nitric oxide. There are approximately 800 neonatal respiratory ECMO cases reported annually to the Extracorporeal Life Support Organization; venoarterial ECMO has been used in approximately 72% with a cumulative survival of 71% and venovenous has been used in 28% with a survival of 84%. Congenital diaphragmatic hernia is now the most common indication for ECMO. This article reviews the development of the two types of extracorporeal support, venoarterial and venovenous ECMO, and discusses the advantages of each method, the current selection criteria, the procedure, and the clinical management of neonates on ECMO.

Abstract

Neonatal neurocritical care is an evolving subsubspecialty whose goal is to implement neuroprotective care strategies, continuous bedside monitoring of neurologic function, and therapies in order to reduce the risk of neurologic injury and improve long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in neonates who require intensive care. The provision of neonatal neurocritical care requires a culture change across a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in which equal importance is placed on the neurologic care and the cardiorespiratory care of a given patient. It is a multidisciplinary framework of care in which neonatologist and pediatric neurologist come together to address the unique needs of NICU patients whose brains are still developing and are vulnerable to injury. Advances in bedside brain monitoring techniques and the use of therapeutic hypothermia for Hupoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy have accelerated the development of NeuroNICUs across the United States and abroad. Neonatologists, neurologists, neurophysiologists, nurses, and other ancillary members of the team work together to develop guidelines for commonly encountered neurological conditions in the NICU. The use of these guidelines helps provide standardized care across a unit and can reduce morbidity and length of hospital stay.

Abstract

Objective To determine the impact of policy changes for pulse oximetry oxygen saturation (SpO2) alarm limits on neonatal mortality and morbidity among infants born very preterm. Study design This was a retrospective cohort study of infants born very preterm in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network. Infants were classified based on treatment at a hospital with an SpO2 alarm policy change and study epoch (before vs after policy change). We used a generalized linear mixed model to determine the effect of hospital group and epoch on the primary outcomes of mortality and severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and secondary outcomes of necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and any ROP. Results There were 3809 infants in 10 hospitals with an SpO2 alarm policy change and 3685 infants in 9 hospitals without a policy change. The nature of most policy changes was to narrow the SpO2 alarm settings. Mortality was lower in hospitals without a policy change (aOR 0.63; 95% CI 0.50-0.80) but did not differ between epochs in policy change hospitals. The odds of bronchopulmonary dysplasia were greater for hospitals with a policy change (aOR 1.65; 95% CI 1.36-2.00) but did not differ for hospitals without a policy change. Severe ROP and necrotizing enterocolitis did not differ between epochs for either group. The adjusted odds of any ROP were lower in recent years in both hospital groups. Conclusions Changing SpO2 alarm policies was not associated with reduced mortality or increased severe ROP among infants born very preterm.

Abstract

Objective Very low birth weight (VLBW) preterm infants are at risk for impaired cerebral autoregulation with pressure passive blood flow. Fluctuations in cerebral perfusion may occur in infants with a hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA), especially during ductal closure. Our goal was to compare cerebral autoregulation using near-infrared spectroscopy in VLBW infants treated for an hsPDA. Study design This prospective observational study enrolled 28 VLBW infants with an hsPDA diagnosed by echocardiography and 12 control VLBW infants without an hsPDA. Near-infrared spectroscopy cerebral monitoring was applied during conservative treatment, indomethacin treatment, or surgical ligation. A cerebral pressure passivity index (PPI) was calculated, and PPI differences were compared using a mixed-effects regression model. Cranial ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging data were also assessed. Results Infants with surgically ligated hsPDAs were more likely to have had a greater PPI within 2 hours following ligation than were those treated with conservative management ( P =.04) or indomethacin ( P =.0007). These differences resolved by 6 hours after treatment. Conclusions Cerebral autoregulation was better preserved after indomethacin treatment of an hsPDA compared with surgical ligation. Infants requiring surgical hsPDA ligation may be at increased risk for cerebral pressure passivity in the 6 hours following surgery.

Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To identify rates of overweight (BMI ≥85(th) percentile) and obesity (BMI ≥95(th) percentile) at 6-7 years of age and associated risk factors among extremely preterm infants born at < 28 weeks of gestation. STUDY DESIGN: Anthropometrics, blood pressure, and active and sedentary activity levels were prospectively assessed. Three groups were compared, those with BMI≥85(th) percentile (overweight or obese for age, height and sex) and ≥95(th) percentile (obese) versus 85(th) percentile), central fat (waist circumference> 90(th) percentile), spent more time in sedentary activity (20.5 versus 18.2 versus 16.7 hours/week), and had either systolic and/or diastolic hypertension (24% versus 26% versus 14 %) respectively. Post discharge weight gain velocities from 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA) to 18 months, and 18 months to 6-7 years were independently associated with BMI ≥85(th) percentile whereas weight-gain velocity from 18 months to 6-7 years was associated with obesity. CONCLUSIONS: One in five former extremely preterm infants is overweight or obese and has central obesity at early school age. Post discharge weight gain velocities were associated with overweight and obesity. These findings suggest the obesity epidemic is spreading to the most extremely preterm infants.

Abstract

Objectives To describe the frequency and extent of delivery room resuscitation and evaluate the association of delivery room resuscitation with neonatal outcomes in moderately preterm (MPT) infants. Study design This was an observational cohort study of MPT infants delivered at 290/7 to 336/7 weeks' gestational age (GA) enrolled in the Neonatal Research Network MPT registry. Infants were categorized into 5 groups based on the highest level of delivery room intervention: routine care, oxygen and/or continuous positive airway pressure, bag and mask ventilation, endotracheal intubation, and cardiopulmonary resuscitation including chest compressions and/or epinephrine use. The association of antepartum and intrapartum risk factors and discharge outcomes with the intensity of resuscitation was evaluated. Results Of 7014 included infants, 1684 (24.0%) received routine care and no additional resuscitation, 2279 (32.5%) received oxygen or continuous positive airway pressure, 1831 (26.1%) received bag and mask ventilation, 1034 (14.7%) underwent endotracheal intubation, and 186 (2.7%) received cardiopulmonary resuscitation. Among the antepartum and intrapartum factors, increasing GA, any exposure to antenatal steroids and prolonged rupture of membranes decreased the likelihood of receipt of all levels of resuscitation. Infants who were small for GA (SGA) had increased risk of delivery room resuscitation. Among the neonatal outcomes, respiratory support at 28 days, days to full oral feeds and length of stay were significantly associated with the intensity of delivery room resuscitation. Higher intensity of resuscitation was associated with increased risk of mortality. Conclusions The majority of MPT infants receive some level of delivery room resuscitation. Increased intensity of delivery room interventions was associated with prolonged respiratory and nutritional support, increased mortality, and a longer length of stay.

Abstract

To evaluate plasma brain specific proteins and cytokines as biomarkers of brain injury in newborns with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and, secondarily, to assess the effect of erythropoietin (Epo) treatment on the relationship between biomarkers and outcomes.A study of candidate brain injury biomarkers was conducted in the context of a phase II multicenter randomized trial evaluating Epo for neuroprotection in HIE. Plasma was collected at baseline (24 hours) and on day 5. Brain injury was assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and neurodevelopmental assessments at 1 year. The relationships between Epo, brain-specific proteins (S100B, ubiquitin carboxy-terminal hydrolase-L1 [UCH-L1], total Tau, neuron specific enolase), cytokines (interleukin [IL]-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-12P70, IL-13, interferon-gamma [IFN-γ], tumor necrosis factor alpha [TNF-α], brain-derived neurotrophic factor [BDNF], monocyte chemoattractant protein-1), and brain injury were assessed.In 50 newborns with encephalopathy, elevated baseline S100B, Tau, UCH-L1, IL-1β, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-13, TNF-α, and IFN-γ levels were associated with increasing brain injury severity by MRI. Higher baseline Tau and lower day 5 BDNF were associated with worse 1 year outcomes. No statistically significant evidence of Epo treatment modification on biomarkers was detected in this small cohort.Elevated plasma brain-specific proteins and cytokine levels in the first 24 hours of life are associated with worse brain injury by MRI in newborns with HIE. Only Tau and BDNF levels were found to be related to neurodevelopmental outcomes. The effect of Epo treatment on the relationships between biomarkers and brain injury in HIE requires further study.ClinicalTrials.gov: 01913340.

Abstract

Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) has been offered as a life-saving technology to newborns with respiratory and cardiac failure refractory to maximal medical therapy. ECMO has been used in treatment of neonates with a variety of cardio-respiratory problems, including meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS), persistent pulmonary hypertension of the neonate (PPHN), congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH), sepsis/pneumonia, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), air leak syndrome, and cardiac anomalies. For this group of high-risk neonates with an anticipated mortality rate of 80% to 85%, ECMO has an overall survival rate of 84%, with recent data showing nearly 100% survival in many diagnostic groups. This article reviews the current selection criteria for ECMO and the clinical management of neonates on ECMO, and discusses the long-term outcome of neonates treated with ECMO.

Abstract

Objective To assess the impact of empiric antifungal therapy for invasive candidiasis on subsequent outcomes in premature infants. Study design This was a cohort study of infants with a birth weight ≤1000 g receiving care at Neonatal Research Network sites. All infants had at least one positive culture for Candida. Empiric antifungal therapy was defined as receipt of a systemic antifungal on the day of or the day before the first positive culture for Candida was drawn. We created Cox proportional hazards and logistic regression models stratified on propensity score quartiles to determine the effect of empiric antifungal therapy on survival, time to clearance of infection, retinopathy of prematurity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, end-organ damage, and neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI). Results A total of 136 infants developed invasive candidiasis. The incidence of death or NDI was lower in infants who received empiric antifungal therapy (19 of 38; 50%) compared with those who had not (55 of 86; 64%; OR, 0.27; 95% CI, 0.08-0.86). There was no significant difference between the groups for any single outcome or other combined outcomes. Conclusion Empiric antifungal therapy was associated with increased survival without NDI. A prospective randomized trial of this strategy is warranted.

Abstract

We hypothesized that inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) would not decrease death or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in infants enrolled in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Preemie iNO Trial (PiNO) trial, nor improve neurodevelopmental outcomes in the follow-up group.Infants34 weeks of age, weighing1500 g, with severe respiratory failure were enrolled in the multicenter, randomized, controlled trial. NDI at 18 to 22 months corrected age was defined as: moderate to severe cerebral palsy (CP; Mental Developmental Index or Psychomotor score Developmental Index70), blindness, or deafness.Of 420 patients enrolled, 109 who received iNO (52%) and 98 who received placebo (47%) died. The follow-up rate in survivors was 90%. iNO did not reduce death or NDI (78% versus 73%; relative risk [RR], 1.07; 95% CI, 0.95-1.19), or NDI or Mental Developmental Index70 in the follow-up group. Moderate-severe CP was slightly higher with iNO (RR, 2.41; 95% CI, 1.01-5.75), as was death or CP in infants weighing1000 g (RR, 1.22; 95% CI, 1.05-1.43).In this extremely ill cohort, iNO did not reduce death or NDI or improve neurodevelopmental outcomes. Routine iNO use in premature infants should be limited to research settings until further data are available.

Abstract

Inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) therapy reduces the use of extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in term and near term infants with hypoxic respiratory failure (1–4). Based on the initial randomized clinical trials, iNO therapy is commonly used for treating moderate to severe neonatal respiratory failure with an oxygenation index (OI) ≥25 (5). A review of the previous randomized trials (1–4) indicated that initiation of iNO therapy at a lower oxygenation index was associated with lower ECMO use/mortality. Therefore, we conducted a randomized, multi-center clinical trial of early initiation of iNO therapy for babies presenting with respiratory failure at an oxygenation index of 15–25 over a three-year period from July 1998 – May 2001. The primary hypothesis for this study was that initiation of iNO at an oxygenation index of 15–25 compared to use of standard iNO therapy at an oxygenation index ≥25 would decrease the rate of ECMO/mortality from 35% to 20%. A secondary hypothesis for this study was that early iNO therapy would not increase neurodevelopmental impairment or hearing loss rates among surviving infants at 18–24 months of age compared to use of standard iNO therapy. Analysis of the outcomes observed prior to discharge from the hospital indicated that early iNO therapy did not reduce the combined incidence of ECMO/mortality and the rates of ECMO and mortality individually were similar between the groups. Early iNO therapy decreased the progression of respiratory failure to an oxygenation index >25 and to an oxygenation index >40. Here we report the results of the neurodevelopmental follow-up of the surviving infants at 18–24 months of postnatal age.
