Systematic review and meta-analysis: the effect of bronchopulmonary dysplasia on neurodevelopment in very low birth weight premature infants
TRANSLATIONAL PEDIATRICS(2021)
Abstract
Background: A meta-analysis was performed to study the effect of steroid intervention on the neurodevelopment of extremely low birth weight preterm infants complicated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and to provide a theoretical basis for clinical treatment. Methods: The Wanfang database, Chinese Biomedical Literature database, VIP database, Baidu Academic, CNKI database, The Cochrane Library, Medline, Embase, and PubMed database were searched by computer from establishment to 2021. Randomized controlled trials on the effect of steroids on neurodevelopment in very low birth weight preterm infants with bronchial dysplasia published from January 10, 2007 were retrieved. The included literature was evaluated for bias risk, then analyzed using RevMan 5.3 software. Results: A total of 9 studies were included, with a total of 2,453 patients. The funnel plot showed that the circles and the midline of some studies were basically symmetrical, and there was no bias in the publications. The conclusions obtained were relatively reliable. Cerebral palsy, neurodevelopmental indicators, and MRI findings of preterm infants were analyzed. The cognitive impairment of very low birth weight preterm infants complicated with bronchial dysplasia (RR =0.83, 95% CI: 0.72-0.96, P=0.01) in the treatment group was significantly different from that in the control group, while cerebral palsy (RR =0.99, 95% CI: 0.75-1.29, P=0.93), speech impairment (RR =0.75, 95% CI: 0.46-1.21, P=0.24), hearing loss requiring amplification (RR =0.60, 95% CI: 0.35-1.03, P=0.06), bilateral blindness RR =0.81, 95% CI: 0.52-1.24, P=0.32), severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) (RR =0.71, 95% CI: 0.33-1.50, P=0.37), and cystic periventricular leukomalacia (RR =0.82, 95% CI: 0.43-1.57, P=0.56) had no significant differences compared with the control group. Discussion: In this meta-analysis, we found that the use of steroids in very low birth weight preterm infants complicated with bronchial dysplasia had significant effects on cognition, but no significant effects on hearing, vision, or language function.
