Outcomes of neonates born at <26 weeks gestational age who receive extensive cardiopulmonary resuscitation compared with airway and breathing support

摘要

Objective To evaluate outcomes of preterm infants = grade 3 or periventricular leucomalacia, retinopathy of prematurity >= stage 3, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, or necrotizing enterocolitis). Result Among 3633 infants analyzed, 433 (11.9%) received ECPR. In multivariable analysis, death or severe morbidity was higher in the ECPR versus ABS group [adjusted odds ratio 2.26 (95% confidence interval 1.49, 3.43)]. The majority of the difference was due to increased mortality, which occurred mostly during the first week of life. Conclusion These data from a recent cohort of infants near the limits of viability may be useful for prognostication for health care providers and counseling of parents.
