Association of Patent ductus arteriosus of hemodynamic sugnificance with plasma NT pro BNP level and study of outcomes of death and morbidities at 36 weeks in neonates of gestational age 25-29 weeks

Eligibility

Inclusion criteria

Inclusion criteria: Neonates born in the unit between 25 to 29 weeks and 6 days will be eligible for inclusion

Exclusion criteria

Exclusion criteria: 1. Antenatally suspected or proven congenital heart disease 2. Suspected congenital heart disease (other than PDA) on the first screening postnatal echocardiography (would be however included if proven as normal by a Pediatric cardiologist before the echo done on day 2) 3. Major or life threatening congenital malformation 4. Suspected congenital rubella infection based on the maternal positive serology for IgM rubella antibodies anytime during the current pregnancy 5. PDA that did not remain open beyond 24 hours of age as well as did not cause a PDA ssociated acute hemodynamic worsening in the first 24 hours of life All consecutively inborn neonates in the gestational age of 25 to 29 6/7 weeks would be screened with Portable Ultrasound Machine between 12-24 hours of life for presence of patent ductus arteriosus with pure or predominant left to right shunt across the ductus arteriosus as per the unit policy.
