摘要
ObjectiveTo assess the long-term neurodevelopmental impact of doxapram for treating apnoea of prematurity.DesignSecondary analysis of the French national cohort study EPIPAGE-2. Recruitment took place in 2011. A standardised neurodevelopmental assessment was performed at age 5-6 years. A 2:1 propensity score matching was used to control for the non-randomised assignment of doxapram treatment.SettingPopulation-based cohort study.PatientsAll children born before 32 weeks' gestation alive at age 5-6 years.InterventionsBlind and standardised assessment by trained neuropsychologists and paediatricians at age 5-6 years.Main outcome measuresNeurodevelopmental outcomes at age 5-6 years assessed by trained paediatricians and neuropsychologists: cerebral palsy, developmental coordination disorders, IQ and behavioural difficulties. A composite criterion for overall neurodevelopmental disabilities was built.ResultsThe population consisted of 2950 children; 275 (8.6%) received doxapram. Median (IQR) gestational age was 29.4 (27.6-30.9) weeks. At age 5-6 years, complete neurodevelopmental assessment was available for 60.3% (1780 of 2950) of children and partial assessment for 10.6% (314 of 2950). In the initial sample, children receiving doxapram had evidence of greater clinical severity than those not treated. Doxapram treatment was associated with overall neurodevelopmental disabilities of any severity (OR 1.43, 95% CI 1.07 to 1.92, p=0.02). Eight hundred and twenty-one children were included in the 2:1 matched sample. In this sample, perinatal characteristics of both groups were similar and doxapram treatment was not associated with overall neurodevelopmental disabilities (OR 1.09, 95% CI 0.76 to 1.57, p=0.63).ConclusionsIn children born before 32 weeks' gestation, doxapram treatment for apnoea of prematurity was not associated with neurodevelopmental disabilities.
