Abstract

Purpose: The aim of our study was to compare the efficacy and safety of ibuprofen and indomethacin in the prophylaxis of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants and to determine whether ibuprofen could be an alternative agent in prophylactic use. Methods: A retrospective study including 37 preterm infants <1,500 g of birth weight, <34 weeks of gestation, whom were administrated indomethacin (n=17; January 2009-December 2009) or ibuprofen (n=20; January 2010-February 2011) within 24 hr after birth was conducted. The rate of ductal closure, need for surgical ligation, clinical outcomes such as necrotizing enterocolitis, intraventricular hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and death rate were compared. Results: There were no statistically significant differences between the two groups in mean gestational age, mean birth weight, Apgar score, sex, type of delivery, maternal dexamethasone treatment, frequency and duration of ventilator and surfactant treatment. The closure of PDA on day 7 of life was in 19 of 20 infants of the ibuprofen group and 13 of 17 infants of the indomethacin group (P=0.159). Between the two groups, there were no significant differences with respect to clinical outcomes. Conclusion: Ibuprofen has similar effects to indomethacin in the rate of PDA closure. Our study demonstrates that prophylactic ibuprofen is relatively effective without significant differences with respect to clinical outcomes compared with indomethacin. Therefore, ibuprofen may be used as an alternative agent in the prophylaxis of PDA in preterm infants.

목적: Indomethacin은 미숙아 동맥관 개존증의 예방적 용법 및 치료적 용법에 사용되어 왔다. 하지만 최근에는 indomethacin의 국내 보급이 중단됨에 ibuprofen이 사용되고 있다. Ibuprofen은 동맥관 폐쇄에 indomethacin만큼 효과적이며 부작용은 적은 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 ibuprofen의 예방적 용법에 관한 연구는 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 미숙아에서 동맥관 개존증의 예방적 치료에 대한 ibuprofen의 효과와 안정성을 indomethacin과 비교하여 분석하고자 하였다. 방법: 2009년 1월부터 2009년 12월, 그리고 2010년 1월부터 2011년 2월까지 두 기간동안 3개의 참여 대학병원 신생아 중환자실에 입원한 34주 미만, 1,500 g 미만의 신생아 중에서 생후 24시간 이내에 indomethacin이나 ibuprofen이 예방적 목적으로 투여된 환자를 대상으로 하여 의무기록을 후향적으로 검토하였다. 두 군간의 동맥관 폐쇄에 대한 효과와 주산기 합병증의 발생 정도를 조사하였다. 결과: 두 군간에 환아의 성별, 재태 연령, 출생체중, 분만 방법, 1분 및 5분 Apgar 점수, 산모의 steroid 사용 여부, 폐 표면활성제 사용 여부 및 인공호흡기 사용여부 및 사용기간에 있어 유의한 차이는 없었다. 생후 7일에 시행한 심초음파 검사에서 indomethacin군은 17명 중 13명, ibuprofen군은 20명 중 19명이 동맥관의 폐쇄를 보였다. 총 입원 기간 외에 주산기 합병증의 빈도는 두 군간의 유의한 차이가 없었다. 결론: Ibuprofen의 예방적 사용은 동맥관 폐쇄에 효과적이며 주산기 합병증 측면에서 유의한 부정적인 차이가 없었다. 따라서 indomethacin을 대체하여 ibuprofen의 사용을 고려해 볼 수 있겠다.
