Neurosensory Impairment after Surgical Closure of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants: Results from the Trial of Indomethacin Prophylaxis in Preterms
Abstract
OBJECTIVES: To determine whether surgical closure of a patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a risk factor for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and neurosensory impairment in extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants.
