Abstract

Objective This study aims to investigate the association between fluid intake in the first 4 days of life and the subsequent severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very low-birth-weight infants (VLBWI).

Study Design A retrospective chart review of 75 infants with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks and a birth weight of < 1,500 g was performed. Demographic, clinical data, associated maternal risk factors, and amount of fluid received in the first 4 days of life were analyzed.

Results Severe BPD was associated with a lower gestational age (27.04 ± 2.073 wks vs. 28.70 ± 1.706 wks, p=0.001), lower birth weight (981.44 ± 244.54 vs. 1,199.63 ± 165.39 g, p < 0.001), use of surfactant (91.7 vs. 63%, p=0.002), patent ductus arteriousus (PDA) (70.8 vs. 37%, p=0.004), pulmonary hemorrhage (14.6 vs. 0%, p=0.045), and more fluids received from the 2nd to 4th days of life (346.44 ± 42.38 mL/kg vs. 323.91 ± 27.62 mL/kg, p=0.007). A cut off point of 345 mL/kg of fluids from the 2nd to 4th days of life was selected using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and remained a significant risk factor even after multiple logistic regression analysis.

Conclusion Our findings demonstrate that VLBWI who received higher fluid intake from the 2nd to 4th days of life are at an increased risk of developing severe BPD.
