Abstract
BACKGROUND Preterm newborns are at risk for patent ductus arteriosus, and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs are often used to facilitate patent ductus arteriosus closure. Acute kidney injury is common in critically ill neonates and may be caused by non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. We sought to describe the incidence of acute kidney injury among preterm infants receiving indomethacin and determine whether acute kidney injury during indomethacin therapy is associated with subsequent patent ductus arteriosus closure. METHODS Retrospective cohort including neonates < 33 weeks gestational age, admitted to two level IIIb neonatal intensive care units between November 2016 and November 2019, who received indomethacin in the first 2 weeks of life. Acute kidney injury in the 7-day period after treatment was defined by neonatal modified Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcomes (KDIGO) criteria. Patent ductus arteriosus closure was defined clinically and/or via echocardiogram. Clinical characteristics were extracted from medical records. Association between acute kidney injury during treatment and successful closure of patent ductus arteriosus was evaluated using chi-square tests and logistic regression. RESULTS One hundred fifty preterm infants were included; acute kidney injury occurred in 8% (all KDIGO Stage 1). Patent ductus arteriosus closed in 52.9% of the non-acute kidney injury group and 66.7% of the acute kidney injury group (p = 0.55). Serum creatinine was checked a mean of 3.1 times in the acute kidney injury group and 2.2 times in the non-acute kidney injury group. There was no difference in survival. CONCLUSION We found no association between acute kidney injury during indomethacin therapy and patent ductus arteriosus closure. Paucity of serum creatinine values likely underdiagnosed acute kidney injury. Surveillance of kidney function during indomethacin therapy using more sensitive renal biomarkers may better identify infants who develop acute kidney injury in the context of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug use.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES Very low birth weight (VLBW) infants are at high risk of developing acute kidney injury (AKI), presumably secondary to low kidney reserves, stressful postnatal events, and drug exposures. Our study aimed to identify the prevalence, risk factors, and outcomes associated with AKI in VLBW infants. STUDY DESIGN Records of all VLBW infants admitted to two medical campuses between January 2019 and June 2020 were retrospectively reviewed. AKI was classified using the modified KDIGO definition to include only serum creatinine. Risk factors and composite outcomes were compared between infants with and without AKI. We evaluated the main predictors of AKI and death with forward stepwise regression analysis. RESULTS 152 VLBW infants were enrolled. 21% of them developed AKI. Based on the multivariable analysis, the most significant predictors of AKI were the use of vasopressors, patent ductus arteriosus, and bloodstream infection. AKI had a strong and independent association with neonatal mortality. CONCLUSIONS AKI is common in VLBW infants and is a significant risk factor for mortality. Efforts to prevent AKI are necessary to prevent its harmful effects.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Compare costs of hospitalization between critically-ill neonates with patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) who did and did not develop acute kidney injury (AKI). STUDY DESIGN Using the Children's Hospital Association's Pediatric Health Information System (PHIS) database, we ascertained the marginal estimated total cost of hospitalization between those who did and did not develop AKI. RESULTS Query of 49 PHIS centers yielded 14,217 neonates with PDA, 1697 with AKI and 12,520 without AKI. Predictors of cost included AKI, birth weight, ethnicity, race, length of stay (LOS), and Feudtner Complex Chronic Conditions Classification System. LOS was the strongest predictor (AKI: median 71 days [IQR 28-130]; No AKI: 28 days [10-76]; p < 0.01). Neonates with AKI had $48,416 greater costs (95% CI: $43,804-53,227) after adjusting for these predictors (AKI: $190,063, 95% CI $183,735-196,610; No AKI: $141,647, 95% CI $139,931-143,383 l; p < 0.01). CONCLUSION AKI is independently associated with increased hospital costs in critically-ill neonates with PDA.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The incidence of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), a major complication of prematurity, may be reduced by restricting fluid administration. Prophylactic fresh frozen plasma (FFP) transfusion may reduce the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage in these infants, but risks transfusion-related volume overload. We conducted a retrospective study to investigate whether FFP transfusion is a risk factor for hemodynamically significant PDA (hsPDA) in very low birth weight (BW) premature infants. STUDY DESIGN From January 2009 to December 2014, 102 premature infants with gestational age (GA) less than or equal to 30 weeks were admitted to a level III neonatal intensive care unit, and 88 patients were enrolled. Patients were further divided into non-hsPDA (n = 29) and hsPDA groups (n = 59). We retrospectively reviewed demographic characteristics and various perinatal and postnatal variables. Univariate and multivariable analyses were performed to identify risk factors for hsPDA. RESULTS Compared with non-hsPDA patients, hsPDA patients had lower mean BW and GA, a higher incidence of severe respiratory distress symptoms, perinatal infection, use of surfactant, and need for FFP transfusion. However, multivariable logistic regression analysis showed that only FFP transfusion remained an independent risk factor for hsPDA (adjusted odds ratio = 3.880, 95% confidence interval: 1.214-12.402, p = 0.022) after adjusting for confounding factors. CONCLUSION FFP transfusion is a significant risk factor for the subsequent development of hsPDA in our study population. FFP transfusion may complicate the fluid management of premature infants and increase the risk of hsPDA. KEY POINTS · Hemodynamic significant PDA is an important complication of preterm infant.. · FFP transfusion may complicate the fluid management of premature infants.. · FFP transfusion is an independent risk factor for hsPDA in very low birth weight premature infants..

Abstract
Transcatheter patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) device closure is increasingly performed in extremely premature infants. Contrast angiography improves the procedural safety and effectiveness by precise anatomic delineation. Contrast nephropathy is a concern in clinically ill premature infants, especially with the presence of renal insufficiency. We hypothesized that the benefit of transcatheter PDA closure outweighs the harm of contrast nephropathy in extremely premature infants. A total of 160 infants underwent successful transcatheter (n = 59) and surgical (n = 101) PDA closure at a median age of 26 (7 to 78) days. The surgical group had a lower procedural weight (870 vs 960 g, p = 0.014). In the transcatheter group, serum creatinine decreased from 0.48 to 0.45 mg/100 ml at 24 hours (p = 0.003, n = 59) and decreased further to 0.37 mg/100 ml at 5 to 7 days after closure (p <0.001). Median contrast amount was 1.9 ml/kg (0.6 to 6.1). In 8 infants with pre-existing renal insufficiency who underwent transcatheter closure, serum creatine significantly improved from 1.44 to 1.36 mg/100 ml at 24 hours and 0.79 mg/100 ml at 5 to 7 days after closure (p <0.001). There was no difference in improvement of serum creatinine between transcatheter and surgical closure groups. In conclusion, despite the use of contrast, serum creatinine significantly improved with transcatheter PDA closure even in infants with pre-existing renal insufficiency. Contrast angiography should not be discouraged for transcatheter PDA closure because of the concern for contrast nephropathy in extremely premature infants.

Abstract
A widely accepted concept in perinatal medicine is that boys are more susceptible than girls to complications of prematurity. However, whether this ‘male disadvantage of prematurity’ also involves persistent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) has been scarcely investigated. Our aim was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis on studies addressing sex differences in the risk of developing PDA among preterm infants. We also investigated whether the response to pharmacological treatment of PDA differs between boys and girls. PubMed/Medline and Embase databases were searched. The random-effects male/female risk ratio (RR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) were calculated. We included 146 studies (357,781 infants). Meta-analysis could not demonstrate sex differences in risk of developing any PDA (37 studies, RR 1.03, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.08), hemodynamically significant PDA (81 studies, RR 1.00, 95% CI 0.97 to 1.02), or in the rate of response to pharmacological treatment (45 studies, RR 1.01, 95% CI 0.98 to 1.04). Subgroup analysis and meta-regression showed that the absence of sex differences was maintained over the years and in different geographic settings. In conclusion, both the incidence of PDA in preterm infants and the response rate to pharmacological treatment of PDA are not different between preterm boys and girls.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Acute kidney injury (AKI) is common and it is associated with poor clinical outcomes in premature and low birth weight neonates. This systematic review and meta-analysis was performed to summarize the literature and evaluate the prevalence, risk factors, and mortality of premature and low birth weight neonates with AKI. METHODS A systematic search in PubMed, Embase, and the Cochrane Library was performed. Studies on the prevalence, risk factors, diagnosis, and outcomes of acute kidney injury in preterm neonates and neonates with low birth weight were included and analyzed. RESULTS Fifty articles of 10,744 patients were included in this study. The overall rate of AKI from the pooled results of all patients was 25% (95% CI 20-30%) with heterogeneity among studies (I2 = 97%; P < 0.01). Patients with AKI had significantly higher rate of mortality than patients without AKI (odds ratio (OR) = 7.13; 95% CI 5.91-8.60; P < 0.01). CONCLUSIONS AKI was prevalent and was associated with high mortality rate among preterm and low birth weight neonates.

Abstract
Background Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is common among preterm neonates. Haemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) can cause ductal steal and contribute to poor outcomes. Our aim was to evaluate ductus arteriosus patency and significance using two-site near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS) measurements in preterm infants older than 72 h as a supplemental tool to echocardiography. Methods In this prospective observational study, 123 preterm infants (gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks, birth weight < 1500 g) were enrolled. Sixty-four newborns had closed ductus arteriosus (noPDA), and 41 and 18 patients were assigned to the PDA and hsPDA groups, respectively, per predefined echocardiographic criteria. Cerebral and renal oxygenation were assessed during NIRS monitoring. Results A higher renal mean (±SD) regional tissue oxygen saturation (rSpO2) (76.7 (±7.64)) was detected in the noPDA group than in the PDA (71.7 (±9.02)) and hsPDA (67.4 (±13.48)) groups (p < 0.001). Renal fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) (0.18 (±0.079)) was lower in the noPDA group than in the PDA (0.23 (±0.092)) and hsPDA (0.24 (±0.117))0.117 groups (p = 0.002). Cerebral oxygenation was significantly lower in the hsPDA group (77.0 (±5.16)) than in the noPDA (79.3 (±2.45)) and PDA (79.7 (±2.27)) groups (p = 0.004). There was no significant difference in cerebral fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE) between any of the groups. Conclusions Our results suggest that renal oxygenation is affected by ductus patency in preterm infants older than 72 h. Significant differences in cerebral oxygenation were observed between the hsPDA group and the PDA and noPDA groups. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT04295395. Registration date: 4 March 2020. This study was retrospectively registered, https://clinicaltrials.gov/ct2/show/NCT04295395.

Abstract
BACKGROUND To study the influence of hyperbilirubinemia on indexes of neonatal kidney function. METHODS A prospective cohort study was conducted September 2019 to March 2020 in Neonatology Department of Xuzhou Central Hospital. Neonates with gestational age ≥ 35 weeks and aged ≤ 7 days were included and divided into mild, moderate, and severe groups according to total serum bilirubin level. Epidemiologic and demographic data and daily urine output were recorded. Total serum bilirubin, serum creatinine, serum cystatin C, serum neutrophil gelatinase-associated lipocalin (NGAL), urine NGAL, and kidney injury molecule-1 were tested before and 12~18 h after phototherapy. Parameters of kidney function were compared between groups. RESULTS Fifty-three, 52, and 49 neonates were included in the mild, moderate, and severe groups, respectively. Urine NGAL was higher in severe (1.36 ± 0.24 μg/L) compared to moderate (1.22 ± 0.19 μg/L) and mild groups (1.16 ± 0.19 μg/L), and differences were statistically significant (P = 0.004 and < 0.001, respectively). Urine NGAL was not significantly different between moderate and mild groups (P > 0.05). No significant differences in other kidney function indexes were observed between the three groups (all P > 0.05). Significant reduction in urine NGAL levels 12~18 h after stopping phototherapy was found in severe group ((1.17 ± 0.28) μg/L vs. (1.35 ± 0.23) μg/L, P < 0.001). Urine NGAL positively correlated with total serum bilirubin (r = 0.575, P < 0.001). Among all cases, neither serum creatinine nor daily urine output met neonatal acute kidney injury diagnostic criteria. CONCLUSION Severe hyperbilirubinemia may temporarily impair renal tubular reabsorption functions in full-term and near-term neonates, which is likely reversible. However, it has little effect on glomerular filtration function. A higher resolution version of the Graphical abstract is available as Supplementary information.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Investigate relationship between management of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) and acute kidney injury (AKI) in very low birthweight neonates. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective cohort study of neonates, <1500 g, admitted to 24 NICUs, 1/1/14 - 3/31/14. AKI diagnosed using the neonatal modified KDIGO definition; diagnosis and treatment of PDA extracted from the medical record. Demographics, clinical characteristics, and AKI stage compared using chi-square and analysis of variance. A general estimating equation logistic regression used to estimate adjusted odds ratios. RESULTS Of 526 neonates with sufficient data to diagnose AKI, 157 (30%) had PDA (61 conservative management, 62 pharmacologic treatment only, 34 surgical ligation). In analyses adjusted for sex, birthweight, gestational age, caffeine, nephrotoxin exposure, vasopressor and mechanical ventilation use, with conservative management as reference, there were no differences among treatment cohorts in the odds of AKI. CONCLUSION The underlying physiology of PDA, not management strategy, may determine the likelihood of AKI in neonates <1500 g.

Abstract
Changes in kidney function in extremely preterm infants (EPT) with conservatively managed hemodynamically significant (HS) patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) are not known well. We aimed to present the postnatal course in serum creatinine levels (sCr), prevalence of acute kidney injury (AKI), then relevance between AKI and adverse outcomes in EPT with conservatively managed HS PDA. By review of medical records, we analyzed the postnatal course of sCr and prevalence of stage 3 AKI defined by the modified Kidney Disease Improving Global Outcome (KDIGO) in EPT at gestational age of 23 to 26 weeks with conservatively treated HS PDA. We investigated if the presence and/or prolonged duration of stage 3 AKI elevated the risk of adverse outcomes. The results showed that, neither factor was associated with adverse outcomes. While the average PDA closure date was at postnatal day (P) 41 and 53, sCr peaked at P 10 and 14 and the cumulative prevalence of stage 3 AKI was 57% and 72% in the EPT of 25–26 and 23–24 weeks’ gestation, respectively. The high prevalence of stage 3 AKI without adverse outcomes in EPT with conservatively managed HS PDA suggests that it might reflect renal immaturity rather than pathologic conditions.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To investigate acute kidney injury (AKI) in neonates with a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) including incidence, risk factors, and possible correlations between PDA-related echocardiographic measurements and AKI incidence. STUDY DESIGN We conducted a single-center retrospective cohort study of infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit with a diagnosis of a PDA between July 2015 and July 2017. Infants were evaluated for development of AKI based on the KDIGO criteria and a multivariable logistic regression analysis was performed. RESULTS A total of 142 neonates with moderate or large PDAs were included, 43 (30%) developed AKI. Patients who developed AKI had longer length of stay, lower birth weights, lengths, and gestational ages. No echocardiographic measurements were predictive of an increased risk for developing AKI. CONCLUSION There are no significant differences in commonly measured echocardiographic markers of PDA hemodynamic significance in neonates who develop AKI.

Abstract
Introduction: In premature neonates, the persistence of hemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) can be associated with short- and long-term consequences, impairing their outcome. The correct strategy of management for such condition is under debate, especially regarding contraindications and/or side effects. In recent years, metabolomics was applied to several perinatal, pediatric, and adult conditions to investigate potential biomarkers of disease, which have become useful for early diagnosis and/or therapeutic management. Aim of the Study: The main purpose of our exploratory study was to asses, through 1H-NMR metabolomics analysis of urinary samples at birth, possible metabolic pathways differentiating, with a significant predictive power, those preterm neonates who will subsequently develop hsPDA and neonates of comparable gestational age (GA) who will undergo spontaneous ductal closure or the persistence of an irrelevant PDA (no-hsPDA). Moreover, we investigated potential prenatal or perinatal clinical factors potentially influencing the development of hsPDA. Materials and Methods: We enrolled n = 35 preterm neonates with GA between 24 and 32 weeks; urinary samples were collected within the first 12 h of life. Patients were closely monitored regarding intensive care, respiratory support, fluid balance and administered drugs; an echocardiogram was performed at 48-72 h. Results: Our results reported a significant correlation between lower GA at birth and the development of hsPDA. Moreover, neonates with GA ≤ 30w developing hsPDA were characterized by lower Apgar scores at 1' and 5', higher rates of perinatal asphyxia, higher need of delivery room resuscitation and subsequent surfactant administration. Interestingly, metabolomics analysis at birth detected a clear separation between the 1H-NMR urinary spectra of subjects GA ≤ 30w not developing hsPDA (n = 19) and those of subjects born at GA ≤ 30w in which hsPDA was confirmed at 48-72 h of life (n = 5). Conclusions: This is the first study applying metabolomics to investigate the PDA condition. Although preliminary and conducted on a limited sample, our results reveal that metabolomics could be a promising tool in the early identification of hsPDA, potentially superior to the clinical or laboratory predictive tools explored to date and even to the clinical observations and correlations in our sample, through the detection of specific urinary metabolites.

Abstract
While persistent patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants has been known to be associated with increased mortality and morbidities including bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and necrotizing enterocolitis, there is minimal evidence supporting their causal relationships, and most traditional medical and/or surgical treatments have failed to show improvements in these outcomes. As such, the pendulum has swung toward the conservative non-intervention approach for the management of persistent PDA during the last decade; however, the benefits and risks of this approach are unclear. In this mini review, we focused on whom, when, and how to apply the conservative non-intervention approach for persistent PDA, especially in extremely preterm infants.
