Article Synopsis
- The study investigates whether former preterm birth and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) are linked to prolonged QT intervals in adolescents and young adults compared to term-born individuals.
- A comparison of QT intervals from pooled data showed no significant difference between the two groups, with a mean QT difference of only 1 ms, indicating that former preterm individuals don't have longer QT intervals than controls.
- The findings suggest that healthcare providers can apply the same pharmacovigilance standards for prescribing QTc-prolonging drugs to former preterm and ELBW patients as they do for the general population.
