Objective

To compare neurodevelopmental outcome, mean arterial blood pressure (MABP), and regional cerebral oxygenation (rSco2) between preterm neonates treated for hypotension and controls.

Study design

Preterm neonates (N聽=聽66) with a gestational age (GA) 鈮?2聽weeks, without a patent ductus arteriosus, treated for hypotension (dopamine 鈮?聽渭g/kg/min) were included. Neonates were matched to controls for GA, birth weight, sex, and year of birth. The rSco2 was determined by using near-infrared spectroscopy. Monitoring of MABP, rSco2, and arterial saturation was started at admission and continued for at least 72聽hours. Neurodevelopmental outcome was assessed at 18 and 24聽months' corrected age by using the Griffiths Mental Development Scales or the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition.

Results

Infants treated for hypotension spent more time with an MABP less than GA (median 9% vs 0%, P聽<聽.001) and time with an MABP/rSco2 correlation >0.5 (27% vs 17%, P聽<聽.001). Time spent with an rSco2 <50% and neurodevelopmental outcome at 18 and 24聽months' corrected age were not significantly different between infants treated for hypotension and controls. The 26 neonates with an rSco2 <50% for >10% of time had a lower neurodevelopmental outcome at 18聽months (median 99 vs 104, P聽=聽.02).

Conclusion

An MABP less than GA (in weeks) was not associated with lower rSco2 or with lower neurodevelopmental outcome scores. However, regardless of MABP, low rSco2 was associated with lower neurodevelopmental outcome scores. Perfusion/oxygenation variables could be of additional value in neonatal intensive care.
