Comparison of Near-Infrared Spectroscopy-Based Cerebral Autoregulatory Indices in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Background: Premature infants are born with immature cerebral autoregulation function and are vulnerable to pressure passive cerebral circulation and subsequent brain injury. Measurements derived from near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have enabled continuous assessment of cerebral vasoreactivity. Al...

description | Background: Premature infants are born with immature cerebral autoregulation function and are vulnerable to pressure passive cerebral circulation and subsequent brain injury. Measurements derived from near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) have enabled continuous assessment of cerebral vasoreactivity. Although NIRS has enabled a growing field of research, the lack of clear standardization in the field remains problematic. A major limitation of current literature is the absence of a comparative analysis of the different methodologies. Objectives: To determine the relationship between NIRS-derived continuous indices of cerebral autoregulation in a cohort of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants. Methods: Premature infants of birth weight 401–1000 g were studied during the first 72 h of life. The cerebral oximetry index (COx), hemoglobin volume index (HVx), and tissue oxygenation heart rate reactivity index (TOHRx) were simultaneously calculated. The relationship between each of the indices was assessed with Pearson correlation. Results: Fifty-eight infants with a median gestational age of 25.8 weeks and a median birth weight of 738 g were included. Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) was detected in 33% of individuals. COx and HVx demonstrated the highest degree of correlation, although the relationship was moderate at best (r = 0.543, p < 0.001). No correlation was found either between COx and TOHRx (r = 0.318, p < 0.015) or between HVx and TOHRx (r = 0.287, p < 0.029). No significant differences in these relationships were found with respect to IVH and no IVH in subgroup analysis. Conclusions: COx, HVx, and TOHRx are not numerically equivalent. Caution must be applied when interpreting or comparing results based on different methodologies for measuring cerebral autoregulation. Uniformity regarding data acquisition and analytical methodology are needed to firmly establish a gold standard for neonatal cerebral autoregulation monitoring. |
