Sildenafil Treatment of Infants With Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia-Associated Pulmonary Hypertension.
OBJECTIVE This study had 2 goals: (1) to identify clinical and demographic characteristics associated with sildenafil exposure for infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)-associated pulmonary hypertension (PH); and (2) to characterize hospital-specific treatment frequency, age at first administration, and length of sildenafil treatment. METHODS This retrospective cohort study used data ...
متن کاملPulmonary hypertension in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia
An increase in the number of preterm infants and a decrease in the gestational age at birth have resulted in an increase in the number of patients with significant bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and secondary pulmonary hypertension (PH). PH contributes significantly to the high morbidity and mortality in the BPD patients. Therefore, regular monitoring for PH by using echocardiography and B-ty...
متن کاملPulmonary Hemosiderosis in Children with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
We describe a possible association between pulmonary hemosiderosis (PH) and a history of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Both patients were born at 28-week gestation and presented with PH at ages 22 months and 6 years, respectively. Both initially presented with cough and tachypnea, and bronchoalveolar lavage showed evidence of hemosiderin-laden macrophages. Initial hemoglobin levels were < 4...
متن کاملPredictors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and pulmonary hypertension in newborn children.
INTRODUCTION Infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are at high risk of developing cardiovascular sequelae in the form of pulmonary hypertension (PH) which significantly increases morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of BPD, to identify characteristics associated with BPD and to identify characteristics associated with PH in infants with BPD. MAT...
متن کاملPulmonary Hypertension in Preterm Infants With Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES With the increasing survival of preterm infants, pulmonary hypertension (PH) related to bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) has become an important complication. The aim of this study was to investigate the characteristics and outcome of PH in preterm infants with BPD and to identify the risk factors for PH. SUBJECTS AND METHODS We reviewed the records of 116 preterm in...
