Abstract

Purpose: Ibuprofen is used for prevention and treatment of patent ductus arteriosus as an alternative drug of indomethacin in very premature infants. We aimed to determine the effect of prophylactic ibuprofen on patent ductus arteriosus and clinical outcomes in preterm infants less than 1,250 g. Methods: A retrospective review of 39 preterm infants who were admitted to our neonatal intensive care unit from November 2009 to July 2010 was performed. Patients were divided into a prophylactic group (n=13) and a matched historical control group (n=26), where prophylactic ibuprofen were administrated within 24 hours after birth. The rate of ductal closure, side-effects of drug treatment and clinical outcomes were compared between two groups. Results: Comparison of the prophylactic and control groups revealed no significant differences in the rate of ductal closure (69.2% vs 77.7%, P=0.825) and surgical ligation (23.1% vs 30.8%, P=0.719). Occurrence of bowel perforation was more frequent in the prophylactic group than the control group, but was not significant (30.8% vs 11.5%, P=0.194). The frequency of intraventricular hemorrhage (grade${\geq}$3) and other outcomes did not differ between the groups. Conclusion: Ibuprofen prophylaxis in preterm infants did not decrease the rate of ductal closure, the need for surgical ligation and the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage. Further studies are needed to investigate the beneficial effect and associated adverse events attributed to ibuprofen prophylaxis.

목적: 최근 indomethacin의 대체약으로 ibuprofen이 미숙아 동맥관 개존증의 예방과 치료에 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 1,250g 미만의 미숙아를 대상으로 ibuprofen의 예방적 치료 효과 및 임상 경과를 분석하고자 하였다. 방법: 2009년 11월부터 2010년 7월까지 본원 신생아 중환자실에 입원한 1,250 g 미만의 동맥관 개존증 환아 39명을 대상으로 후향적으로 의무기록을 조사하였다. Ibuprofen의 예방적 투여군(출생 후 24시간 이내에 ibuprofen 투여) 13명에 대해 재태연령과 출생체중을 과거 대응(historical match)하여 대조군 26명으로 분류하였고, 두 군의 동맥관 개존증 빈도, 임상 경과 및 합병증을 분석하였다. 결과: Ibuprofen을 투여한 예방적 투여군과 대조군 간의 동맥관 폐쇄율(69.2% vs 77.7%, P=0.825)은 유의한 차이가 없었고, ibuprofen 치료에 실패하여 동맥관 결찰술을 시행 받은 경우도 두 군간에 유의한 차이가 없었다(23.1% vs 30.8%, P=0.719). 약물과 관련된 부작용으로 위장관 천공이 발생한 경우는 예방적 투여군에서 더 많은 경향을 보였으나 대상수의 부족 등으로 통계적 유의성은 없었다(30.8% vs 11.5%, P=0.194). 뇌실 내 출혈(grade${\geq}$3) 및 다른 미숙아 합병증의 발생률도 두 군간 차이는 없었다. 결론: 미숙아에서 ibuprofen의 예방적인 투여가 동맥관 폐쇄율, 동맥관 결찰술 그리고 고도의 뇌실 내 출혈의 빈도를 감소시키지 못하였다. 향후 예방적 ibuprofen 사용과 관련하여 효과 및 부작용에 대한 더 많은 연구가 되어야 할 것이다.
