Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of nutritional intake in the first two weeks of life on bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants with gestational age (GA) ≤ 32 weeks.Methods:A retrospective case-control study was conducted 154 preterm infants with birth weight ≤ 1500 g and GA ≤ 32 weeks were enrolled from neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) of Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University between January 1, 2016 and December 31, 2017. These infants were divided into BPD group or non-BPD group. All clinical and nutritional data were collected and analyzed to investigate the effects of early-life (within 2 weeks after birth) nutritional intake on BPD.Results:Among a total of 154 eligible neonates, 68 were without BPD and 86 with BPD (55.8%). Mild, moderate and severe BPD accounted for 39.5% (34/86), 58.1%(50/86)and 2.4%(2/86)of all BPD cases respectively. GA and birth-weight of BPD group were significantly lower than that of non-BPD group [(28.35 ± 1.55)weeks vs. (30.12 ± 1.23)weeks; (1050.91 ± 190.6)g vs. (1205.88 ± 195.83)g, both P = 0.000]. The duration of mechanical ventilation in BPD group was longer than that in non-BPD group [(2.65 ± 1.08)days vs. (0.47 ± 0.12)days, P < 0.05]. The incidences of complications in BPD group, including neonatal asphyxia, sepsis and patent ductus arteriosus, were all higher than those in non-BPD group( P < 0.05). The fluids and caloric intake, enteral fluids and caloric intake were significantly lower in BPD group on Day 7 and 14 of life ( P < 0.05). The macronutrient intake in BPD group was also consistently lower, reaching statistical significance for carbohydrate intake on Day 7 and 14 of life, and for protein and lipid intake on Day 14 of life ( P < 0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that mechanical ventilation ( OR = 2.257, 95% CI: 1.143~4.456, P = 0.019) and GA ( OR = 0.325, 95% CI: 0.215~0.49, P = 0.000) were high-risk factors for BPD. The decreased odds of developing BPD were associated with higher levels of enteral calories on Day 14 of life ( OR = 0.96, 95% CI: 0.94~0.98, P = 0.000), fluids on Day 7 of life ( OR = 0.927, 95% CI: 0.876~0.981, P = 0.009) and protein intake on Day 14 of life ( OR = 0.044, 95% CI: 0.011~0.177, P = 0.000). Conclusions:GA and mechanical ventilation were independent high-risk factors for BPD. Higher intake of protein and enteral calories were protective factors. Proactive early enteral nutrition support, adequate protein intake and decreasing the duration of mechanical ventilation may reduce the risk of BPD.
