Article Synopsis
- Hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) in premature infants is linked to complications like bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary hypertension (PH), particularly when hsPDA lasts more than 60 days.
- A study reviewed 133 infants born before 32 weeks' gestation to analyze the impact of hsPDA duration on clinical outcomes and lung MRI results.
- Findings showed that prolonged hsPDA correlated with more severe BPD, higher likelihood of PH, increased risk of needing a tracheostomy or death, and worse lung health on MRI.
