Background: Monochorionic (MC) twins are at risk for severe twin-to-twin transfusion syndrome (TTTS) or twin anemia-polycythemia sequence (TAPS). In the case of preterm delivery, cesarean section (CS) with immediate umbilical cord clamping (ICC) of both twins is usually performed. While the recipient is at risk for polycythemia and may benefit from ICC, this procedure may result in aggravation of anemia with increased morbidity in the anemic donor. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate that the novel approach of selective extrauterine placental perfusion (EPP) with delayed umbilical cord clamping (DCC) in the donor infant is feasible in neonatal resuscitation of MC twins and may prevent severe anemia in donor and polycythemia in the recipient.

Methods: Preterm MC twins with antenatal suspected severe anemia of the donor as measured by Doppler ultrasound, born with birthweights < 1500 g by CS, were transferred to the neonatal resuscitation unit with placenta and intact umbilical cords. In the donor, the umbilical cord was left intact to provide DCC with parallel respiratory support (EPP approach), while the cord of the recipient was clamped immediately after identification.

Results: Selective EPP was performed in three cases of MC twins with TAPS and acute peripartum TTTS. All donor twins had initial hemoglobin levels ≥ 13.0 g/dL, and none of them required red blood cell transfusion on the first day after birth.

Conclusions: Selective EPP may be a feasible strategy for neonatal resuscitation of MC preterm twins with high stage TAPS and TTTS to prevent anemia-related morbidities and may improve infant outcome.

背景:单绒毛膜双胎(MC)有可能发生严重的双胎输血综合征(TTTS)或双胎贫血多血症序列(TAPS)。在早产的情况下,通常会对双胞胎进行剖宫产(CS)并立即进行脐带夹闭(ICC)。虽然受体有多血症的风险并可能从 ICC 中获益,但这一过程可能会导致贫血加重,增加贫血供体的发病率。本研究的目的是证明,在 MC 双胎的新生儿复苏中,对供体婴儿进行选择性宫外胎盘灌注(EPP)并延迟脐带夹闭(DCC)的新方法是可行的,而且可以防止供体的严重贫血和受体的多血症:方法:多普勒超声检查发现,早产 MC 双胎的供体存在严重贫血,经 CS 出生,出生体重小于 1500 克,带胎盘和完整脐带转入新生儿复苏室。供体的脐带保持完整,以提供并行呼吸支持的 DCC(EPP 方法),而受体的脐带在确认后立即被夹住:对三例患有 TAPS 和急性围产期 TTTS 的 MC 双胎进行了选择性 EPP。所有供体双胞胎的初始血红蛋白水平均≥13.0 g/dL,且无一例在出生后第一天需要输注红细胞:结论:选择性EPP可能是一种可行的新生儿复苏策略,适用于高龄TAPS和TTTS的MC早产双胞胎,可预防贫血相关的疾病,并可改善婴儿的预后。

Background: The multisystemic features of Down syndrome (DS) in children are accompanied by immunodeficiency, making them susceptible to infections and immune dysregulation with autoimmune, allergic, inflammatory, and hematological complications. This study was aimed at a better understanding of the abnormalities within the B and T cell compartments and their correlations with clinical immunophenotypes. Methods: Medical records of 35 DS children were retrospectively reviewed, referring to clinical symptomatology including history of infections, immune dysregulation disorders, and humoral and cellular immune response. Results: While the etiology of respiratory tract infections included typical viral and bacterial pathogens, SARS-CoV2-induced inflammatory disease and syndromic immunodeficiency contributed significantly to the deterioration of the clinical course. Allergic diseases in the form of asthma, allergic rhinitis, and alimentary allergy were the most frequent manifestations of immune dysregulation and were followed by autoimmune disorders, such as Crohn's disease, celiac disease, autoimmune thyroiditis, and alopecia, as well as inflammatory disorders, balanitis xerotica obliterans and lymphadenopathy, and a hematological disorder of myelopoiesis. Deficiency of serum immunoglobulin levels, reduced numbers of naïve B cells, and non-switched memory B cells along with low naïve T helper cells and significantly reduced regulatory T helper cells were the most prominent immune abnormalities. Conclusions: The loss of naïveté in B and T lymphocyte compartments with a deficiency of regulatory T cells may be underpinning pathomechanisms for the skewed immune response. The clinical immunophenotype in DS is complex and represents syndromic primary immunodeficiency with immune dysregulation.

背景:唐氏综合征(DS)患儿的多系统特征伴随着免疫缺陷,使他们容易受到感染和免疫失调,出现自身免疫、过敏、炎症和血液病并发症。本研究旨在更好地了解 B 细胞和 T 细胞的异常及其与临床免疫表型的相关性。研究方法回顾性分析 35 名 DS 儿童的病历,参考临床症状,包括感染史、免疫调节紊乱、体液和细胞免疫反应。结果显示虽然呼吸道感染的病因包括典型的病毒和细菌病原体,但 SARS-CoV2- 引发的炎症性疾病和综合免疫缺陷症在很大程度上导致了临床病程的恶化。哮喘、过敏性鼻炎和消化道过敏等形式的过敏性疾病是免疫失调最常见的表现,其次是克罗恩病、乳糜泻、自身免疫性甲状腺炎和脱发等自身免疫性疾病,以及炎症性疾病、斑秃和淋巴结病,还有骨髓造血功能紊乱。血清免疫球蛋白水平不足、天真 B 细胞和非转换记忆 B 细胞数量减少、天真 T 辅助细胞数量低和调节性 T 辅助细胞数量显著减少是最突出的免疫异常现象。结论是B淋巴细胞和T淋巴细胞天真性的丧失以及调节性T细胞的缺乏可能是导致免疫反应失衡的基本病理机制。DS 的临床免疫表型非常复杂,是一种免疫失调的综合征性原发性免疫缺陷。

Background: Depression is the most common mental illness in the world, found in nearly three in ten adolescents globally. This study aims to evaluate the prevalence of antidepressant prescriptions and the types of antidepressant therapy administered among adolescents diagnosed with depression in Germany.

Methods: This retrospective cohort study, based on data provided by 30 child and adolescent psychiatrists, included adolescents aged 13-17 years with an initial diagnosis of depression between 2010 and 2022 (index date) documented in the IQVIATM Disease Analyzer database. Kaplan-Meier curves were used to investigate the one-year cumulative incidence of antidepressant prescriptions stratified by age, sex, and depression severity. Multivariable Cox regression analyses were used to assess the association between age, sex, depression severity, co-diagnoses, and antidepressant drug prescription.

Results: A total of 6338 adolescents (mean age: 16 years, 67% female, 59% with moderate depression) were available. The cumulative incidence of antidepressant prescriptions was 61% and increased with age from 13 years old to 17 years old. Fluoxetine was the most prescribed drug, followed by Sertraline, Escitalopram, Serotonin and Norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors, herbal medications, and Mirtazapine. Obsessive-compulsive disorder and eating disorders were found to be significantly associated with antidepressant prescriptions within the spectrum of co-diagnosed conditions.

Conclusions: Higher age, depression severity, and a co-diagnosis of an obsessive-compulsive disorder or eating disorder were significantly positively associated with antidepressant prescriptions in adolescents. Fluoxetine was the most frequently prescribed drug for depression.

背景介绍抑郁症是世界上最常见的精神疾病,全球每十名青少年中就有近三人患有抑郁症。本研究旨在评估德国被诊断患有抑郁症的青少年中开具抗抑郁药处方的流行率以及抗抑郁治疗的类型:这项回顾性队列研究基于 30 位儿童和青少年精神科医生提供的数据,纳入了 IQVIATM 疾病分析仪数据库中记录的 2010 年至 2022 年(索引日期)期间初次诊断为抑郁症的 13-17 岁青少年。卡普兰-梅耶曲线用于研究按年龄、性别和抑郁严重程度分层的抗抑郁药物处方一年累计发生率。多变量考克斯回归分析用于评估年龄、性别、抑郁严重程度、合并诊断和抗抑郁药物处方之间的关联:共有 6338 名青少年(平均年龄:16 岁,67% 为女性,59% 患有中度抑郁症)接受了研究。抗抑郁药物处方的累计发生率为 61%,并随着年龄的增长而增加,从 13 岁增加到 17 岁。氟西汀是处方最多的药物,其次是舍曲林、艾司西酞普兰、血清素和去甲肾上腺素再摄取抑制剂、草药和米氮平。在合并诊断的病症中,发现强迫症和进食障碍与抗抑郁药物处方显著相关:结论:年龄越大、抑郁严重程度越高、同时被诊断为强迫症或进食障碍与青少年的抗抑郁药物处方呈显著正相关。氟西汀是最常见的抑郁症处方药。

Background/objectives: It is vital to identify children whose weight status means that they may benefit from medical or behavioural support, but adult visual judgements of child weight status are inaccurate, and children are seldom routinely weighed and measured. Consequently, there is a need for validated visual tools for use in training, communication, and interventions relating to child weight.

Methods: This paper presents validation data for a set of innovative photo-realistic colour body size scales depicting boys and girls aged 4-5 and 10-11. Each age- and gender-specific scale consists of 7 figures based on three-dimensional (3D) scans of 388 children to accurately represent the change in body size caused by changing adiposity. To assess scale validity, 238 adult participants (105 men, 132 women, 1 non-binary individual) undertook two tasks: rating figure adiposity using a visual analogue scale and ranking figures in ascending order of adiposity (OSF Reference: gdp9j).

Results: Participants accurately estimated the relative adiposity of each figure, i.e., they were able to tell the difference between figures and correctly rank them by size. This demonstrates scale validity for use in body size tasks. One hundred and fifty-one participants also provided 3-day test-retest data, which demonstrates excellent short-term reliability.

Conclusions: Overall, the MapMe child body size scales provide an anthropometrically accurate, valid, reliable, and usable tool for size-related tasks and communication with adults regarding child weight.

背景/目的:识别儿童的体重状况至关重要,这意味着他们可能会受益于医疗或行为支持,但成人对儿童体重状况的视觉判断并不准确,而且儿童很少进行常规称重和测量。因此,我们需要经过验证的视觉工具,用于与儿童体重有关的培训、交流和干预:本文介绍了一套新颖的照片逼真彩色体重秤的验证数据,该体重秤描述了 4-5 岁和 10-11 岁男孩和女孩的体重。每个按年龄和性别划分的量表由 7 个数字组成,这些数字基于对 388 名儿童的三维(3D)扫描,以准确地表示因脂肪含量变化而引起的体型变化。为了评估量表的有效性,238 名成年参与者(105 名男性、132 名女性和 1 名非二元个体)进行了两项任务:使用视觉模拟量表对人物的脂肪含量进行评分,以及按照脂肪含量由高到低的顺序对人物进行排序(OSF 参考文献:gdp9j):结果:参与者准确地估计了每个人物的相对脂肪含量,也就是说,他们能够分辨出人物之间的差异,并能正确地按照大小对人物进行排序。这证明了量表在体型任务中的有效性。151 名参与者还提供了为期 3 天的重复测试数据,这表明该量表具有出色的短期可靠性:总的来说,MapMe 儿童体型测量秤为体型相关任务以及与成人就儿童体重进行交流提供了准确、有效、可靠且可用的人体测量工具。

Background/objectives: In paediatric liver transplantation, donor-recipient compatibility depends on graft size. We explored whether the graft weight can be predicted using the donor's biometric parameters.

Methods: We used seven easily available biometric variables in 142 anonymised paediatric and adult donors, with data collected between 2016 and 2022. The whole or partial liver was transplanted in our hospital from these donors. We identified the variables that had the strongest correlation to our response variable: whole liver graft weight.

Results: In child donors, we determined two linear models: using donor weight and height on the one hand and using donor weight and right liver span on the other hand. Both models had a coefficient of determination R2 = 0.86 and p-value < 10-5. We also determined two models in adult donors using donor weight and height (R2 = 0.33, p < 10-4) and donor weight and sternal height (R2 = 0.38, p < 10-4). The models proved valid based on our external dataset of 245 patients from two institutions.

Conclusions: In clinical practise, our models could provide rapidly accessible estimates to determine whole graft dimension compatibility in liver transplantation in children and adults. Determining similar models predicting the left lobe and lateral segment weight could prove invaluable in paediatric transplantation.

背景/目的:在儿科肝移植中,供体与受体的相容性取决于移植物的大小。我们探讨了是否可以通过供体的生物特征参数来预测移植物的重量:我们在 142 名匿名儿科和成人供体中使用了七种易于获得的生物测量变量,数据收集时间为 2016 年至 2022 年。这些供体在我院进行了全肝或部分肝移植。我们确定了与我们的响应变量(全肝移植重量)相关性最强的变量:在儿童捐献者中,我们确定了两个线性模型:一方面使用捐献者体重和身高,另一方面使用捐献者体重和右肝跨度。两个模型的判定系数 R2 = 0.86,P 值均小于 10-5。我们还利用供体体重和身高(R2 = 0.33,p < 10-4)以及供体体重和胸骨高度(R2 = 0.38,p < 10-4)确定了成人供体的两个模型。根据我们的外部数据集(来自两家机构的 245 名患者),这些模型被证明是有效的:结论:在临床实践中,我们的模型可以提供快速可用的估计值,以确定儿童和成人肝移植中整个移植物尺寸的兼容性。确定预测左叶和侧段重量的类似模型在儿科移植中将证明是非常有价值的。

Objective: We aimed to describe the clinical characteristics associated with severity in children hospitalized with COVID-19.

Method: This was an epidemiological cohort study conducted in two hospitals, one of which was a reference center for the treatment of COVID-19 cases. Data were collected from the reports generated by the hospital epidemiology centers and the medical records of patients aged between 0 and 14 years with a diagnosis of COVID-19, hospitalized between March 2020 and June 2021. To analyze the association between the clinical profile and severity, the cases were classified as severe (severe and critical) and non-severe (asymptomatic, mild, and moderate).

Results: Of the 191 children followed up in the cohort, 73.3% developed the severe form. The percentage of children with oxygen saturation below 95% was 46.6%. In the multivariate analysis, a higher risk of severity was estimated among children with uncontrolled asthma (RR = 13.2), who were overweight or obese (RR = 3.21), who had cough symptoms (RR = 2.72), and those aged under one year (RR = 3.23).

Conclusions: This result underscores the need to improve healthcare at every level for children and for the management of asthma and nutrition when considering children with this clinical profile who are diagnosed with COVID-19.

目的我们旨在描述与 COVID-19 住院患儿病情严重程度相关的临床特征:这是一项在两家医院进行的流行病学队列研究,其中一家医院是治疗 COVID-19 病例的参考中心。数据收集自医院流行病学中心生成的报告,以及 2020 年 3 月至 2021 年 6 月期间住院的诊断为 COVID-19 的 0 至 14 岁患者的病历。为了分析临床特征与严重程度之间的关联,病例被分为重度(重度和危重)和非重度(无症状、轻度和中度):结果:在队列随访的 191 名儿童中,73.3% 患有重症。血氧饱和度低于 95% 的儿童占 46.6%。在多变量分析中,估计哮喘未得到控制(RR = 13.2)、超重或肥胖(RR = 3.21)、有咳嗽症状(RR = 2.72)和年龄不足一岁(RR = 3.23)的儿童患严重哮喘的风险较高:这一结果突出表明,在考虑确诊为 COVID-19 的临床特征儿童时,有必要改善各个层面的儿童医疗保健以及哮喘和营养管理。

Background: Previous studies demonstrated the influential role of sustained attention in the reading comprehension of alphabetic writing systems. However, there is limited understanding of how these cognitive functions contribute to reading comprehension in non-alphabetic systems, such as Japanese. This study seeks to explore this gap, focusing on how sustained attention and response inhibition function in a writing system where some of the characters represent meanings rather than sounds, introducing another layer of difficulty in the complex process of reading; Methods: Seventy-five Japanese 9th grade students performed a task to assess sustained attention and response inhibition. The cognitive test was carried out using tablets to enable feasible parallel group administration while maintaining high comparability with ecological classroom settings. Reading comprehension was measured using an exam that the participants took as part of their educational routine; Results: Our results indicate that both sustained attention and response inhibition significantly contributed to the reading comprehension of Japanese 9th grade students; Conclusions: These results replicate and expand previous studies documenting the contribution of sustained attention on the reading comprehension of alphabetic writing systems to a non-alphabetic system. Moreover, our findings unravel another important cognitive factor, namely response inhibition in reading comprehension. We suggest that response inhibition may play a crucial role in reading non-alphabetic writing systems that pose high cognitive demands, such as Japanese.

研究背景以往的研究表明,持续注意力在字母书写系统的阅读理解中发挥着重要作用。然而,对于这些认知功能如何促进非字母系统(如日语)的阅读理解,人们的了解还很有限。本研究试图探索这一空白,重点研究持续注意和反应抑制在书写系统中是如何发挥作用的,在这种系统中,有些字符代表的是意义而不是声音,这给复杂的阅读过程带来了另一层困难:75 名日本九年级学生完成了一项评估持续注意力和反应抑制的任务。认知测试使用平板电脑进行,以便在与生态课堂环境保持高度可比性的同时,实现可行的平行小组管理。阅读理解能力是通过参加者在日常教学中参加的考试来测量的:结果:我们的研究结果表明,持续注意和反应抑制都对日本九年级学生的阅读理解能力有显著的促进作用;结论:这些结果重复和扩展了之前的研究:这些结果重复并扩展了之前的研究,将持续注意对字母书写系统阅读理解的贡献记录到了非字母系统中。此外,我们的研究结果还揭示了另一个重要的认知因素,即阅读理解中的反应抑制。我们认为,反应抑制可能在阅读对认知要求较高的非字母书写系统(如日语)时发挥关键作用。

Background: We investigated the predictors of poor SRH in a representative sample of Lithuanian mainstream school students in grades 7-8. We also checked for gender differences in the associations between SRH and depressive symptoms and other predictors.

Methods: A total of 2104 7th-8th-grade students participated (response rate 73.95%) and were asked about depressive symptoms, psychosomatic health complaints, negative acts at school, feeling at school, family stress and violence, sense of coherence, self-esteem, and lifestyle. We used a hierarchical regression analysis including a variety of self-rated health predictors.

Results: Boys scored significantly higher on physical activity and smoking, whereas girls scored significantly higher on SRH, depressive symptoms, psychosomatic health complaints, and family stress and violence, though the significance was lost in the hierarchical regression. Depressive symptoms were the strongest predictor of poor SRH (standardized β = 0.309, p < 0.001), though other investigated predictors were also significant but had lower effect sizes. Strong evidence was found supporting the buffering role of sense of coherence in the relationship between depressive symptoms and SRH (standardized β = -0.266, p < 0.001).

Conclusions: We can conclude that the magnitude of the relationship between depressive symptoms and self-rated health is dependent on the levels of sense of coherence. We did not find gender differences in those associations. As poor SRH is easy to determine, especially with a one-item question, the cases of poorly rated health should be detected early and corrected by interventions in order to prevent poor health outcomes in the future.

研究背景我们调查了立陶宛主流学校 7-8 年级学生中性健康和生殖健康不良的预测因素。我们还检查了性健康和生殖健康与抑郁症状及其他预测因素之间的性别差异:共有 2104 名七至八年级学生参加了调查(回复率为 73.95%),调查内容包括抑郁症状、心身健康投诉、在学校的负面行为、在学校的感受、家庭压力和暴力、一致性感、自尊和生活方式。我们采用了分层回归分析法,其中包括各种自评健康预测因素:结果:男生在体育活动和吸烟方面的得分明显较高,而女生在性健康和生殖健康、抑郁症状、心身健康投诉以及家庭压力和暴力方面的得分明显较高,但在分层回归中失去了显著性。抑郁症状是性健康和生殖健康不良的最强预测因子(标准化 β = 0.309,p < 0.001),尽管其他调查预测因子也具有显著性,但效应大小较低。研究发现,有强有力的证据支持连贯感在抑郁症状与性健康和生殖健康之间的关系中发挥缓冲作用(标准化 β = -0.266,p < 0.001):我们可以得出结论,抑郁症状与自我评定健康之间关系的大小取决于一致性感的水平。在这些关联中,我们没有发现性别差异。由于自评为差的健康状况很容易确定,特别是通过一个单项问题,因此应及早发现自评为差的健康状况,并通过干预措施加以纠正,以防止将来出现不良的健康结果。

Introduction: Approximately 20% of Norwegian adolescents are frequently using Over-the-Counter Analgesics (OTCAs). The WHO emphasizes the need for research to identify the key determinants of health problems in adolescence. Thus, our aim was to describe and explore pain, stress, and Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQOL) in Norwegian adolescents and investigate possible associations upon high/low usage of OTCAs. Methods: This cross-sectional study included 315 adolescents (92 boys, 223 girls) with an average age of 14.1 years (13-15 years). All participants reported using OTCAs. Weekly usage was categorized as high and less than weekly as low. Using a validated questionnaire, we explored the following variables: pain, as measured using the Brief Pain Inventory, stress (Perceived Stress Questionnaire), and HRQOL (KIDSSCREEN-27). Binary logistic regression models were conducted using IBM SPSS Statistics (version 27). Results: Our descriptive findings reveal that high users of OTCAs reported higher pain intensity of 3.4 (SD = 1.9) and perceived stress of 0.38 (SD = 0.18) compared to low users, who reported 2.5 (SD = 1.9) and 0.32 (SD = 0.16), respectively. High OTCA users reported lower average scores than low users across all HRQOL subscales. Binary logistic regression revealed 30% higher odds for higher levels of pain intensity and 14 times higher odds of perceived stress associated with being a high user of OTCAs compared to a low user. Conclusions: Our study shows significantly higher odds for experiencing pain and stress among adolescents using OTCAs daily-to-weekly, compared to those seldom using such medicines. Health professionals should be aware of young people who have a high consumption of OTCAs and investigate whether the use is related to pain or stress. This might be important in designing a personalized and appropriate intervention. Parents and caregivers have an important responsibility in supporting adolescents' appropriate pain management. Longitudinal studies are needed to better explore predictive factors of OTCA use in adolescents, particularly in relation to psychological variables such as stress and quality of life.

简介约有20%的挪威青少年经常使用非处方止痛药(OTCA)。世界卫生组织强调,有必要开展研究,以确定青少年健康问题的主要决定因素。因此,我们的目的是描述和探讨挪威青少年的疼痛、压力和与健康相关的生活质量(HRQOL),并调查非处方药使用量高/低之间可能存在的关联。研究方法这项横断面研究包括315名青少年(92名男生,223名女生),平均年龄为14.1岁(13-15岁)。所有参与者均表示使用过非处方药。每周使用量为高,少于每周为低。我们使用经过验证的问卷调查了以下变量:使用简易疼痛量表测量的疼痛、压力(感知压力问卷)和 HRQOL(KIDSSCREEN-27)。我们使用 IBM SPSS 统计(27 版)建立了二元逻辑回归模型。结果我们的描述性研究结果显示,OTCA 的高使用者报告的疼痛强度为 3.4(标准差 = 1.9),感知压力为 0.38(标准差 = 0.18),而低使用者报告的疼痛强度为 2.5(标准差 = 1.9),感知压力为 0.32(标准差 = 0.16)。在所有 HRQOL 分量表中,OTCA 使用量高者的平均得分均低于使用量低者。二元逻辑回归显示,与使用非处方药较少的人相比,使用非处方药较多的人疼痛强度较高的几率高出 30%,感知压力较高的几率高出 14 倍。结论:我们的研究表明,与很少使用非处方药的青少年相比,每天至每周使用非处方药的青少年经历疼痛和压力的几率明显更高。医疗专业人员应注意那些大量使用非处方药的青少年,并调查其使用是否与疼痛或压力有关。这对于设计个性化的适当干预措施可能非常重要。家长和照顾者在支持青少年适当控制疼痛方面负有重要责任。需要进行纵向研究,以更好地探索青少年使用非处方药的预测因素,特别是与压力和生活质量等心理变量有关的因素。

Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate high-frequency percussive ventilation (HFPV) as a rescue strategy for extremely low gestational age neonates (ELGANs) with severe lung disease. Methods: This is a retrospective review of 16 ELGANs with severe lung disease who were placed on HFPV following a lack of improvement on other modes of conventional and high-frequency ventilation. Results: The gestational age of these 16 infants was 25 (24, 26) weeks and their birth weight was 640 (535, 773) grams [median (IQR)], with the survivors being more immature compared to those who died [24 (23, 26) and 26 (25, 28) weeks, respectively; (p = 0.04)]; and with an overall mortality of 31% (N = 5). Of those who died, 60% were SGA (p = 0.02). Following placement on HFPV, the survivors had a statistically significant decrease in their respiratory severity scores (RSSs) [11 (9, 14) to 6 (5, 13), p = 0.03] compared to those who did not survive [15 (11, 16) to 11 (6.8, 14.5), p = 0.32] due to an improvement in their oxygenation [FiO2: 0.95 (0.85, 1) to 0.6 (0.4, 0.9), p = 0.01; compared to 1 (1, 1) to 1 (0.7, 1); survivors and non-survivors, respectively; p = 0.32]. Chest X-rays also showed significantly improved aeration due to decreased areas of atelectasis in those who survived. Conclusions: HFPV may be an appropriate rescue mode of high-frequency ventilation in the ELGAN population with severe lung disease, particularly for patients with impaired oxygenation and ventilation difficulties due to shifting atelectasis and mucous plugging.

研究目的本研究旨在评估高频冲击通气(HFPV)作为严重肺部疾病极低胎龄新生儿(ELGANs)抢救策略的效果。方法:本研究对 16 例患有严重肺部疾病的 ELGAN 进行了回顾性研究,这些新生儿在使用其他常规和高频通气模式后病情未见好转,因此被安排使用 HFPV。结果:这16名婴儿的胎龄为25(24,26)周,出生体重为640(535,773)克[中位数(IQR)],与死亡婴儿相比,存活婴儿的发育更不成熟[分别为24(23,26)周和26(25,28)周;(P = 0.04)];总死亡率为31%(N = 5)。在死亡病例中,60% 为 SGA(P = 0.02)。在接受 HFPV 治疗后,由于氧合状况的改善[FiO2.0.95 (0.85, 0.95)],存活者的呼吸系统严重程度评分 (RSS) [11 (9, 14) to 6 (5, 13),p = 0.03]与未存活者相比有了显著下降[15 (11, 16) to 11 (6.8, 14.5),p = 0.32]:0.95 (0.85, 1) 到 0.6 (0.4, 0.9),p = 0.01;相比之下,存活者和非存活者分别为 1 (1, 1) 到 1 (0.7, 1);p = 0.32]。胸部 X 光片也显示,由于存活者的肺不张面积减少,通气状况明显改善。结论:对于患有严重肺病的 ELGAN 患者来说,HFPV 可能是一种合适的高频通气抢救模式,尤其是对于因移位性肺偏流和粘液堵塞而导致氧合功能受损和通气困难的患者。
