Predictors of home oxygen duration in chronic neonatal lung disease

Pediatric Pulmonology Mar 01, 2021

Wong MD, Neylan M, Williams G, et al. - Researchers sought to identify predictors of home oxygen duration, predictors of discharge oxygen flow rates, and the association of oxygen flow rates with respiratory outcomes in infants with chronic neonatal lung disease (CNLD). Infants with CNLD requiring home oxygen were reviewed retrospectively in 2016 and 2017. To explore connections between oxygen flow groups and post‐discharge clinical variables, Kruskal–Wallis test with univariate linear regression and Fisher's exact test with binomial univariate logistic regression were used. Participants in the study were 149 infants. The best predictor for earlier home oxygen cessation was the shorter initial neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) stay. In the first 2 years of chronological age, infants with hypercarbia or a higher corrected gestational age can need more home oxygen at NICU discharge and experience more respiratory-related hospital admission.
