ABSTRACT
Incomplete pulmonary function and insufficient production of pulmonary surfactant in premature infants may affect alveolar relaxation, inducing neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (NRDS). The present study was a retrospective comparison of lipid metabolism indexes and clinic information between NRDS and non-NRDS infants. Data on general information, pregnancy, clinical symptoms, family history as well as plasma biochemical and lipid metabolic indexes were retrospectively collected and statistically analyzed from 79 patients with NRDS and 44 non-NRDS infants. Infants in the NRDS group showed lower body weight (2,055 vs. 3,225 g) and gestation age (33.39 vs. 38.53 weeks) than those in the non-NRDS group (P<0.05). Baseline information was corrected by the inverse probability of treatment weighting (IPTW) analysis. The weighted adjusted median age was the same in both groups and there was no significant difference between two groups in birth weight. The IPTW analysis revealed that the levels of plasma triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein, free triiodothyronine, free thyroxine, glucose, calcium (Ca2+) and phosphorus in the NRDS infants were significantly lower compared with those in the non-NRDS infants. Additionally, NRDS infants had significantly higher incidence rates of pneumonia, sepsis, brain injury infection, preterm birth, patent foramen ovale, patent ductus arteriosus and premature rupture of membranes compared with the non-NRDS infants (P<0.05). Multivariate logistic analysis showed that TG and Ca2+ were risk factors associated with NRDS (P<0.05). Infants with NRDS have significantly lower levels of plasma lipid indexes. The results of the present study provide data to guide the clinical management of NRDS.
