Indomethacin Impairs Coronary Perfusion in Infants with Hemodynamically Significant Ductus Arteriosus
Bibliographic record
Abstract
BACKGROUND: A haemodynamically significant ductus arteriosus (HSDA) is commonly associated with morbidity in preterm infants. AIM: To study the effect of the first dose of indomethacin on coronary blood flow in preterm neonates diagnosed with an HSDA. METHOD: A prospective observational echocardiographic study was performed on preterm infants. A single study dose of intravenous indomethacin (0.1 mg/kg) was administered over 1 h. Serial echocardiography was performed before and after indomethacin treatment to study the effect on coronary artery perfusion and cardiovascular performance. RESULTS: Eighteen infants born at a median gestation of 25.8 (24.2, 28.1) weeks and a birth weight of 773 g (704, 1,002) were evaluated. The median age at indomethacin administration was 7.5 days (4, 17). There was no significant change in arterial pressure or ventilatory indices. Left anterior descending artery diastolic velocity and time integral declined from 0.3 ± 0.1 and 3.19 ± 1.2 m/s to 0.22 ± 0.08 and 2.01 ± 0.9 m/s, respectively, within 10 min of completion of infusion. These indices showed partial recovery when reassessed after 60 min. There were no changes in left ventricular output or transductal flow. CONCLUSIONS: Intravenous indomethacin was followed by a decline in coronary arterial diastolic blood flow.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
