RESUMO
OBJECTIVE: To compare neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2 years corrected age (CA) between infants born very preterm (VP) who did or did not receive a postdischarge responsive parenting intervention (Transmural developmental support for very preterm infants and their parents [TOP program]) between discharge home and 12 months' CA. STUDY DESIGN: The Systemic Hydrocortisone to Prevent Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (SToP-BPD) study showed no differences between treatment groups in motor and cognitive development using the Dutch Bayley Scales of Infant Development and behavior using the Child Behavior Checklist at 2 years' CA. During its study period, the TOP program was gradually scaled up nationwide in the same population, providing an opportunity to evaluate the effect of this program on neurodevelopmental outcome, after adjusting for baseline differences. RESULTS: Among 262 surviving VP infants in the SToP-BPD study, 35% received the TOP program. Infants in the TOP group had a significantly lower incidence of a cognitive score <85 (20.3% vs 35.2%; adjusted absolute risk reduction: -14.1% [95% CI: -27.2 to -1.1]; P = .03), and a significantly higher mean cognitive score (96.7 ± 13.8), compared with the non-TOP group (92.0 ± 17.5; crude mean difference: 4.7 [95% CI: 0.3 to 9.2]; P = .03). No significant differences were found on motor scores. For behavior problems, a small but statistically significant effect for anxious/depressive problems was found in the TOP group (50.5 vs 51.2; P = .02). CONCLUSIONS: VP infants supported by the TOP program from discharge until 12 months' CA had better cognitive function at 2 years' CA. This study demonstrates a sustained positive effect of the TOP program in VP infants.

Abstract Objective: To explore the clinical or sociodemographic predictors for both successful and failed extubation among Chinese extremely and very preterm infants Methods: A retrospective cohort study was carried out among extremely and very preterm infants born at less than 32 weeks of gestational age (GA). Results: Compared with the infants who experienced extubation failure, the successful infants had higher birth weight (OR 0.997; CI 0.996-0.998), higher GA (OR 0.582; 95% CI 0.499-0.678), a caesarean section delivery (OR 0.598; 95% CI 0.380-0.939), a higher five-minute Apgar score (OR 0.501; 95% CI 0.257-0.977), and a higher pH prior to extubation (OR 0.008; 95% CI 0.001-0.058). Failed extubation was associated with older mothers (OR 1.055; 95% CI 1.013-1.099), infants intubated in the delivery room (OR 2.820; 95% CI 1.742-4.563), a higher fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) prior to extubation (OR 5.246; 95% CI 2.540-10.835), higher partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) prior to extubation (OR 7.820; 95% CI 3.725-16.420), and higher amounts of lactic acid (OR 1.478;95% CI1.063-2.056). Conclusions: Higher GA, higher pre-extubation pH, lower pre-extubation FiO2 and PCO, and lower age at extubation are significant predictors of successful extubation among extremely and very preterm infants.
