Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

OBJECTIVE: To determine survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes in the Hypotension in Preterm (HIP) trial. DESIGN: Prospective follow-up of infants enrolled in randomised controlled trial. PARTICIPANTS: 58 infants born before 28 weeks of gestation with low mean arterial blood pressure. INTERVENTION: Random allocation to treatment of low blood pressure values with infusion of dopamine or placebo. PRIMARY OUTCOME: Survival without neurodevelopmental impairment to 24 months corrected age (CA). RESULTS: The HIP trial stopped early due to logistic and recruitment difficulties. Outcomes were determined for 55 infants (27 in the dopamine group and 28 in the placebo group) at 24 months CA. Survival without impairment was present in 13 (48%) infants in the dopamine group and 7 (25%) infants in the placebo group (OR 2.79 (95% CI 0.89, 8.72); p=0.078). The components of the primary outcome were similarly distributed between the two arms. Mean Bayley composite scores and the frequency of somatic impairments did not differ significantly between groups but infants were shorter and lighter at 2 years of age after dopamine administration. CONCLUSION: In this placebo-controlled trial of the treatment of hypotension in extremely preterm infants, dopamine administration did not increase survival without impairment at 2 years CA. However, the study was not sufficiently powered and a clinically important effect cannot be excluded. The role of inotropic medication in facilitating good outcomes requires further study.

Not calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human 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.
