Lung ultrasound score predicts patent ductus arteriosus ligation among neonates ≤25 weeks

Background This prospective study aimed to investigate whether lung ultrasound score (LUSs) can predict the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation. Methods Preterm infants ≤25 weeks of gestational age (GA) were enrolled. A lung ultrasound was performed on the 14th day of life. Each lung zone was gi...

Description
Summary:Background This prospective study aimed to investigate whether lung ultrasound score (LUSs) can predict the patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) ligation. Methods Preterm infants ≤25 weeks of gestational age (GA) were enrolled. A lung ultrasound was performed on the 14th day of life. Each lung zone was given a score between 0 and 4. A receiver‐operating characteristic (ROC) curve was constructed to evaluate the ability of the LUSs for predicting ligation. Results A total of 81 infants were eligible with a median GA and birth weight (BW) of 25 weeks (24.1–25.2) and 710 g (645–770), respectively. The median time from birth to ligation was 35 days (32–51). Those who underwent ligation had a longer time of mechanical ventilation (34 [26–39] vs. 19 [12–30], p
