Prolonged Tracheal Intubation and the Association Between Patent Ductus Arteriosus and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia: A Secondary Analysis of the PDA-TOLERATE trial

J Pediatr. 2021 Feb:229:283-288.e2. doi: 10.1016/j.jpeds.2020.09.047. Epub 2020 Oct 28.

Abstract

In the PDA-TOLERATE trial, persistent (even for several weeks) moderate to large patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) was not associated with an increased risk of BPD when the infant required <10 days of intubation. However, in infants requiring intubation for ≥10 days, prolonged PDA exposure (≥11 days) was associated with an increased risk of moderate/severe BPD.

Keywords: bronchopulmonary dysplasia; patent ductus arteriosus; premature birth.
