A persistently patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants can have significant clinical
consequences, particularly during the recovery period from respiratory distress syndrome …

A widely accepted concept in perinatal medicine is that boys are more susceptible than girls
to complications of prematurity. However, whether this 'male disadvantage of …

The ductus arteriosus (DA) is a fetal shunt vessel between the pulmonary artery and the
aorta that closes promptly after birth. Failure of postnatal DA closure is a major cause of …

Background: Several cohort studies have shown an association between low platelet counts
in the first day (s) of life and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm infants. However …

BACKGROUND/AIM: To determine whether there is an association between platelet counts
and patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) incidence and/or closure in preterm newborns. STUDY …

It has been reported that low platelet count may increase the risk of patent ductus arteriosus
(PDA) in preterm infants. Moreover, high mean platelet volume (MPV) has been found to be …

OBJECTIVE: To determine whether low platelet counts are related to the incidence of patent
ductus arteriosus (PDA) after indomethacin treatment in preterm human infants. STUDY …

The ductus arteriosus (DA) shunts blood away from the lungs during fetal life, but at birth this
shunt is no longer needed and the vessel rapidly constricts. Postnatal persistence of the DA …

Objective Evaluate predictors of successful PDA closure following acetaminophen treatment.
Study design Retrospective cohort study of≤ 30 weeks GA infants born from 1 January 2013 …

Background: Decreased platelet number and/or function are related to patent ductus
arteriosus (PDA) in mice. Whether this is also the case in human infants remains …
