Abstract
Objective: We previously reported improved neurodevelopment at 2 and 4 years among preterm infants treated with erythropoietin or darbepoetin, known as erythropoiesis-stimulating agents (ESAs). We now characterize longitudinal outcomes through 6 years.
Methods: Children randomized to ESAs or placebo were evaluated at 6 years. Healthy-term children served as controls. Tests of cognition and executive function (EF) were performed.
Results: Cognitive/EF scores remained similar between 4 and 6 years within each group (ESA: 43 children; placebo: 17 children; term: 21 children). ESA recipients scored higher than placebo on Full-Scale IQ (94.2 ± 18.6 vs. 81.6 ± 16.7, p = 0.022), and Performance IQ (97.3 ± 16.2 vs. 81.7 ± 15.2, = 0.005). Aggregate EF trended better for the ESA group. Term controls scored better than placebo on all measures. ESA and term controls scored similarly on cognitive and EF tests.
Conclusion: ESA recipients had better outcomes than placebo recipients, and were similar to term children. ESAs may improve long-term cognition and executive function in preterm infants.
目的:我们之前报道过2岁和4岁早产儿接受促红细胞生成素或达贝生成素(即促红细胞生成素促红细胞生成素)治疗后神经发育得到改善。我们现在描述了6年的纵向结果。方法:随机分配到esa或安慰剂组的儿童在6岁时进行评估。健康足月儿童作为对照组。进行认知和执行功能(EF)测试。结果:认知/EF得分在各组4至6岁之间保持相似(ESA: 43名儿童;安慰剂组:17例;学期:21个孩子)。ESA接受者在全面智商(94.2±18.6 vs. 81.6±16.7,p = 0.022)和绩效智商(97.3±16.2 vs. 81.7±15.2,= 0.005)上的得分高于安慰剂。ESA组的总EF趋势更好。长期控制组在所有指标上的得分都高于安慰剂组。ESA和term control在认知和EF测试中的得分相似。结论:ESA接受者的预后优于安慰剂接受者,并且与足月儿童相似。esa可改善早产儿的长期认知和执行功能。
