Information Based Similarity Analysis of Oxygen Saturation Recordings to Detect Pulmonary Hypertension in Preterm Infants.

ABSTRACT: Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex cardiovascular condition associated with multiple morbidities and mortality risk in preterm infants. PH often complicates the clinical course of infants who have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a more common lung disease in these neonates, causing respiratory deterioration and an even higher risk of mortality. While risk factors and prevalence of PH are not yet well defined, early screening and management of PH in infants with BPD are recommended by consensus guidelines from the American Heart Association. In this study, we propose a screening method for PH by applying a signal analysis technique to oxygen saturation in infants. Oxygen saturation data from infant groups with BPD (41 with and 60 without PH), recorded prior to their clinical PH diag
