Echocardiographic Parameters Predictive of Poor Outcome in Persistent Pulmonary Hypertension of the Newborn (PPHN): Preliminary Results
The aim is to conduct a pilot study to prospectively describe echocardiographic parameters in neonates with pulmonary hypertension (PH) managed according to current recommendations and to identify those parameters that could predict worsening of short-term outcomes. All neonates less than 28 days ol...

description | The aim is to conduct a pilot study to prospectively describe echocardiographic parameters in neonates with pulmonary hypertension (PH) managed according to current recommendations and to identify those parameters that could predict worsening of short-term outcomes. All neonates less than 28 days old with a diagnosis of PH were prospectively enrolled in a tertiary care center for 1 year. Two echocardiograms were performed by a trained neonatologist. The first echocardiogram was performed at the time of diagnosis, whereas the second was performed just after basic therapeutic optimization. The cohort included 27 neonates. Mean gestational age at birth was 36.1 weeks gestational age (WGA) (SD: 4) and mean birth weight was 2658 g (SD: 907). Six neonates (22%) died before day 28, with a median age at death of 48 h (IQR [33; 89]). Although the first echocardiogram showed no difference, the second highlighted a strong link between the persistence of right-to left-shunt and death (p = 0.002). We showed a link between right-to-left shunt and a poor outcome (death or morbidity) after therapeutic optimization among premature and full-term neonates suffering from PH. We recommend repeating echocardiography after basic therapeutic optimization and for prognostic purposes, taking into account only the second examination. Larger cohorts are needed to confirm these results. SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The online version contains supplementary material available at 10.1007/s00246-021-02677-z. |
