Résumé

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate echocardiography criteria in predicting the response to ibuprofen treatment. DESIGN: A prospective cohort study of preterm infants untreated or treated with ibuprofen for patent ductus arteriosus. SETTING: Three academic neonatal intensive care units. PATIENTS: Two hundred fifty-two preterm infants of 27-31 wks gestation. INTERVENTIONS: Ibuprofen treatment within the first 5 days of life was indicated when at least two out of four conventional echocardiography criteria were observed: ductal diameter >2 mm, left-right ductal shunt maximum velocity 0.4 m/sec, and end-diastolic flow velocity in left pulmonary artery >0.2 m/sec. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Of the infants analyzed, 135 had a closed ductus at an average age of 1.9 +/- 0.9 days, and 43 had an open ductus but
