Is electrocortical Activity at 7 Days of Life Affected in Extremely Premature Infants with Patent Ductus Arteriosus?
A PDA has a negative influence on the total Burdjalov score and continuity at 7 days of age in infants born at less than 28 weeks of gestation. The electrocortical disturbances may be the consequence of a diminished cerebral perfusion in the presence of a PDA.
We found that early declines in lung function are sensitive, but not specific, for BO. The low specificity of BOS for identifying BO illustrates the challenge facing clinicians in determining the etiology of pulmonary decline after lung transplant.
