Project description:Introduction: Early pulmonary vascular disease in preterm infants is associated with the subsequent development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), however, mechanisms that contribute to or identify infants with increased susceptibility for BPD and/or PH are incompletely understood. Therefore, we tested if changes in circulating angiogenic peptides during the first week of life are associated with the later development of BPD and/or PH. We further sought to determine alternate peptides and related signalling pathways with the risk for BPD or PH. Methods: We prospectively enrolled infants with gestational age <34 weeks gestation and collected blood samples during their first week of life. BPD and PH were assessed at 36 weeks postmenstrual age. Samples were assayed for each of the 1121 peptides included in the SOMAscanTM technology, with subsequent pathway analysis. Results: Of 102 study infants, 82 had BPD and 13 had PH. Multiple angiogenic proteins (PF-4, VEGF121, ANG-1, BMP10, HGF, ANG2) were associated with the subsequent diagnosis of BPD, and FGF-19, PF-4, CTAP-III and PDGF-AA levels were associated with BPD severity. Early increases in BMP10 was strongly associated with the late risk for BPD and PH. Conclusion: We found that early alterations of circulating angiogenic peptides and others were associated with the subsequent development of BPD. We further identified peptides that were associated with BPD severity and BPD-associated PH, including BMP10. We speculate that proteomic biomarkers during the first week of life may identify infants at risk for BPD and/or PH to enhance care and research.

Project description:ObjectiveTo test the hypothesis that echocardiographic markers of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) exist in asymptomatic infants born preterm at 1-year corrected age.Study designWe conducted a prospective cohort study of 80 infants born preterm (<29 weeks of gestation) and 100 age- and weight-matched infants born at term and compared broad-based conventional and quantitative echocardiographic measures of pulmonary hemodynamics at 1-year corrected age. Pulmonary artery acceleration time (PAAT), a validated index of pulmonary vascular resistance, arterial pressure, and compliance, was used to assess pulmonary hemodynamics. Lower PAAT is indicative of PVD. Subanalyses were performed in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD, n = 48, 59%) and/or late-onset pulmonary hypertension (n = 12, 15%).ResultsAt 1 year, there were no differences between conventional measures of pulmonary hypertension in the infants born at term and preterm. All infants born preterm had significantly lower values of PAAT than infants born at term (73 ± 8 milliseconds vs 98 ± 5 milliseconds, P < .001). Infants born preterm with BPD had even lower PAAT than those without BPD (69 ± 5 milliseconds vs 79 ± 4 milliseconds, P < .01). The degree of PVD at 1-year corrected age was inversely related to gestation in all infants born preterm. Data analysis included adjustment for ventricular function and other confounding factors.ConclusionsIn comparison with infants born at term, infants born preterm exhibit abnormal PAAT at 1-year corrected age irrespective of neonatal lung disease status, suggesting the existence of PVD beyond infancy. PAAT measurements offer a reliable, noninvasive tool for screening and longitudinal monitoring of pulmonary hemodynamics in infants.

Project description:This study evaluated whether early pulmonary hypertension (PH) in extremely preterm infants (EPIs) at 22-27 weeks of gestation detected clinically with echocardiography at 4-7 postnatal days (PND) is a risk factor for death before 36 weeks post-menstrual age (PMA) or late PH in moderate or severe (m/s) bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (BPD-PH). We analyzed risk factors for death before 36 weeks PMA or BPD-PH. Among 247 EPIs enrolled, 74 (30.0%) had early PH. Twenty-one (28.4%) infants with early PH and 18 (10.4%) without early PH died before 36 weeks PMA; 14 (18.9%) infants with early PH and 9 (5.2%) without early PH had BPD-PH at 36-38 weeks PMA. Multivariate analysis revealed that early PH (adjusted odds ratio, 6.55; 95% confidence interval, 3.10-13.82, P < 0.05), clinical chorioamnionitis (2.50; 1.18-5.31), intraventricular hemorrhage (grade 3-4) (3.43; 1.26-9.37), and late sepsis (6.76; 3.20-14.28) independently increased the risk of development of death before 36 weeks PMA or BPD-PH. Subgroup analysis among m/s BPD patients revealed that early PH (4.50; 1.61-12.58) and prolonged invasive ventilator care (> 28 days) (4.91; 1.02-23.68) increased the risk for late PH independently. In conclusion, EPIs with early PH at 4-7 PND should be monitored for BPD-associated late PH development.

Project description:BackgroundPulmonary vascular disease (PVD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a significant disorder affecting prognosis of extremely preterm infants. However, there is still a lack of a consensus on the definition and optimal treatments of PH, and there is also a lack of research comparing these conditions with persistent pulmonary hypertension of newborn (PPHN), early PH, and late PH. To investigate PH in extremely preterm infants, this study compared the baseline characteristics, short-term outcomes, and treatment duration, categorized by the timing of requiring PH treatment.MethodsThis study retrospectively analyzed extremely preterm infants admitted to a single tertiary center. Between 2018 and 2022, infants with clinical or echocardiographic diagnosis of PH who required treatment were divided into three groups based on the timing of treatment initiation: initial 3 days (extremely early-period), from day 4 to day 27 (early-period), and after day 28 (late-period). The study compared the outcomes, including mortality rates, bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) severity, PH treatment duration, and oxygen therapy duration, among the three groups.ResultsAmong the 157 infants, 67 (42.7%) were treated for PH during their stay. Of these, 39 (57.3%) were treatment in extremely early, 21 (31.3%) in early, and seven (11.4%) in late periods. No significant differences were observed in maternal factors, neonatal factors, or morbidity between the three groups. However, infants who received extremely early-period treatment had a higher mortality rate, but shorter duration of noninvasive respiratory support, oxygen therapy, and PH medication use. On the other hand, the late-period treatment group received longer durations of respiratory support and treatment.ConclusionsThis study revealed differences in mortality rates, respiratory outcomes, and treatment duration between the three groups, suggesting varying pathophysiologies over time in extremely preterm infants.

Project description:ObjectiveTo investigate factors associated with development of early and late pulmonary hypertension (E/LPH) in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).Study designA retrospective case-control observational study of preterm infants with BPD admitted to a level IV referral neonatal intensive care unit over 5 years. We compared pre- and postnatal characteristics between infants with or without BPD-associated EPH and LPH.ResultsFifty-nine out of 220 infants (26.8%) had LPH, while 85 out of 193 neonates (44%) had EPH. On multiple logistic regression, novel factors associated with development of BPD-LPH included presence of maternal diabetes, EPH, tracheostomy, tracheitis, intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH, grade ≥3) and systemic steroid use. For EPH, these were maternal diabetes, IVH grade ≥3, high frequency ventilator use, and absence of maternal antibiotics use.ConclusionWe identified novel factors and confirmed previously established factors with development of LPH and EPH, which can help develop a screening strategy in BPD patients.

Project description:The immature preterm kidney is likely to be vulnerable to acute kidney injury (AKI). However, the biomarkers currently used for AKI are not sensitive or specific and are also inadequate for the timely detection of AKI in preterm infants. The objectives of this study were to identify novel urinary biomarkers of AKI using proteomic techniques, and to verify and validate that the candidates can serve as early predictive biomarkers for AKI. In total, 1,810 proteins were identified in the discovery phase. Among those proteins, 174 were selected as the 1st targeted proteins. A total of 168 proteins were quantified, and the levels of 6 were significantly increased in the AKI group in the verification phase. Using a clinical assay, the results were confirmed and validated using samples of the first urine after birth from the biorepository. Finally, enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays revealed that the levels of annexin A5, neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), and protein S100-P were significantly higher in the samples of the first urine from patients with AKI than in those from patients without AKI. In conclusion, urinary annexin A5, NGAL and protein S100-P levels are promising biomarkers for early, accurate prediction of AKI in preterm infants.

Project description:IntroductionElectrical impedance tomography (EIT) allows assessment of ventilation and aeration homogeneity which may be associated with respiratory outcomes in preterm infants.MethodsThis was a secondary analysis to a recent randomized controlled trial in very preterm infants in the delivery room (DR). The predictive value of various EIT parameters assessed 30 min after birth on important respiratory outcomes (early intubation <24 h after birth, oxygen dependency at 28 days after birth, and moderate/severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia; BPD) was assessed.ResultsThirty-two infants were analyzed. A lower percentage of aerated lung volume [OR (95% CI) = 0.8 (0.66-0.98), p = 0.027] as well as a higher aeration homogeneity ratio (i.e., more aeration in the non-gravity-dependent lung) predicted the need for supplemental oxygen at 28 days after birth [9.58 (5.16-17.78), p = 0.0028]. Both variables together had a similar predictive value to a model using known clinical contributors. There was no association with intubation or BPD, where numbers were small.DiscussionIn very preterm infants, EIT markers of aeration at 30 min after birth accurately predicted the need for supplemental oxygen at 28 days after birth but not BPD. EIT-guided individualized optimization of respiratory support in the DR may be possible.

Project description:Human milk is recommended for feeding preterm infants. The current pilot study aims to determine whether breast-milk lipidome had any impact on the early growth-pattern of preterm infants fed their own mother's milk. A prospective-monocentric-observational birth-cohort was established, enrolling 138 preterm infants, who received their own mother's breast-milk throughout hospital stay. All infants were ranked according to the change in weight Z-score between birth and hospital discharge. Then, we selected infants who experienced "slower" (n = 15, -1.54 ± 0.42 Z-score) or "faster" (n = 11, -0.48 ± 0.19 Z-score) growth; as expected, although groups did not differ regarding gestational age, birth weight Z-score was lower in the "faster-growth" group (0.56 ± 0.72 vs. -1.59 ± 0.96). Liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry lipidomic signatures combined with multivariate analyses made it possible to identify breast-milk lipid species that allowed clear-cut discrimination between groups. Validation of the selected biomarkers was performed using multidimensional statistical, false-discovery-rate and ROC (Receiver Operating Characteristic) tools. Breast-milk associated with faster growth contained more medium-chain saturated fatty acid and sphingomyelin, dihomo-γ-linolenic acid (DGLA)-containing phosphethanolamine, and less oleic acid-containing triglyceride and DGLA-oxylipin. The ability of such biomarkers to predict early-growth was validated in presence of confounding clinical factors but remains to be ascertained in larger cohort studies.
