Sumario:OBJECTIVE: To explore the relationship between neonatal oxygen saturation and BP at age 6-7 years in a cohort of infants born extremely preterm. STUDY DESIGN: Infants <28 weeks gestation were assigned to a higher or lower oxygen saturation target. Oximeter data were monitored throughout the neonatal period. A subset of survivors was seen at age 6. BP was measured and compared by group assignment, achieved saturations, and time spent in hypoxemia (saturations < 80%). RESULTS: There was no difference in systolic or diastolic BP between assigned groups. Median achieved weekly oxygen saturation was not associated with BP. Longer duration of hypoxemia during the first week of age was associated with higher systolic BP. CONCLUSION: Neither target nor actual median oxygen saturations in this study was associated with BP at school age. Increased duration of hypoxemia in the first postnatal week was associated with higher systolic BP at 6-7 years of age.
