Abstract:
Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of non-invasive cardiac output parameters:cardiac index (CI) and minute distance (MD), in premature infants with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and determine the cut-off value. Methods Clinical data of 98 premature infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from January 2015 to June 2015 were collected. These premature infants were divided into the treated PDA group (n=30),the untreated PDA group (n=28) and the normal premature group (n=40) based on the results of echocardiogram in the first three days after birth and the use of drugs. Non-invasive cardiac output parameters were measured in the first three days after birth. The data were analyzed by t test, analysis of variance and SNK-q test. The diagnostic value of CI and MD for PDA was analyzed by the receiver operating characteristic curve. Results By preliminary analysis of the ROC curve,CI and MD were the most representative parameters for the diagnosis of PDA which need to be treated clinically, we thus chose CI and MD in this study. The aortic and pulmonary arterial CI and MD in the treated PDA group were significantly higher than in the untreated PDA group and the normal premature group (all P<0.05). There were no significant differences between the untreated PDA group and the normal premature group in the aortic and pulmonary arterial CI and MD (all P>0.05). The cut-off value of the aortic CI and MD was 2.95 L/(min·m2) and 21.50 m/min, respectively, while that of the pulmonary arterial CI and MD was 4.55 L/(min·m2) and 26.50 m/min, respectively. The sensitivity and specificity of the combined aortic CI and MD for the treated PDA group were 0.90 and 0.82, and those of combined pulmonary arterial CI and MD were 0.87 and 0.82;and those of combined aortic and pulmonary arterial CI and MD were 0.80 and 0.88, respectively. Conclusions The non-invasive cardiac output parameters CI and MD have good diagnostic value for the PDA needing clinical treatment, and the combined use of the two parameters can improve specificity, and help formulate the early treatment strategy for premature infants with PDA. When aortic CI was ≥ 2.95 L/(min·m2) and MD was ≥ 21.50 m/min, a preliminary diagnosis of the PDA needing clinical treatment, can be made, and simultaneously when the pulmonary arterial CI was ≥4.55 L/(min·m2) and MD was≥26.50 m/min, the arterial duct should be closed timely.
