摘要

Background

Measures of early postnatal fluid balance may be associated with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (sIVH) and/or death in extremely preterm infants in the first postnatal week.

Methods

A single-center, retrospective cohort study including actively treated inborn infants weighing ≥ 400 g and 22–27 weeks’ gestation from 2014–2021. Longitudinal mixed effect models compared daily fluid balance covariates including serum sodium, percent weight change, total fluid intake, urine output, and fluid balance (daily weight – birth weight /birth weight × 100) among infants with and without sIVH or death, during the first seven postnatal days. Multiple regression and machine learning models were developed to predict sIVH and/or death. Variables that were incorporated into the models included measures of fluid balance, gestational age, birth weight, antenatal corticosteroids, multiples, and sex.

Results

We included 932 infants with mean ± SD gestational age of 25w2d ± 11d and birth weight of 746 ± 212 g of whom 195 (20.9%) had sIVH and/or death. Lower percentage weight change (p < 0.001), higher total fluid intake (p = 0.007), higher sodium (p = 0.007), and positive early fluid balance (p < 0.001) were associated with sIVH and/or death even after adjustment for baseline characteristics. The area under the receiver-operating curve (AUC) for regression models predicting sIVH and/or death incorporating baseline characteristics improved after adding fluid balance measures from 0.75 to 0.80, while the AUC for machine learning models improved from 0.72 to 0.84.

Conclusions

In extremely preterm infants, early fluid status measures were associated with risk of sIVH and/or death. The addition of fluid status measures improves the performance of models predicting sIVH and/or death.
