Aminophylline in combination with caffeine citrate in neurodevelopmental treatment and follow-up of high-risk preterm infants using GMs assessment

Pak J Pharm Sci. 2022 Jan;35(1(Special)):361-364.

Abstract

To explore the application effect of aminophylline combined with caffeine citrate and GMs in the evaluation of neurodevelopmental treatment and follow-up in high-risk preterm infants. A retrospective analysis of 66 high-risk preterm infants admitted to Hengshui People's Hospital from January 2020 to June 2021 was conducted. The children who received only conventional treatment were set as the control group, while those who received aminophylline and caffeine citrate on the basis of conventional treatment were set as the experimental group, 33 cases each group; GMs were used to evaluate the neurodevelopmental function of the children, and the treatment effect was analyzed. The normal proportion of GMs assessment results in the twisting phase and restless movement phase of the experimental group was superior to the control group (P<0.05); The proportion of children with normal neurodevelopment in the experimental group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Aminophylline in combination with caffeine citrate can help promote the neurodevelopment of children and improve their physical health using GMs assessment in the treatment and follow-up of high-risk preterm infants.
