Clinical features of late-onset circulatory dysfunction in premature infants

Background: Sudden unpredictable hypotension during the post-transitional period, termed late-onset circulatory dysfunction (LCD) of premature infants, has been reported in low birth-weight infants who overcame major problems during the early neonatal period.

We investigated the clinical features of LCD and factors associated with the occurrence of LCD. Methods: A multicenter retrospective case-control study. The clinical records of 1,004 children born at less than 32 weeks of gestation were reviewed. Patients with LCD were compared with age-matched non-LCD controls. Results: Of the 1,004 infants, 73 (7.3%) were diagnosed with LCD, with the incidence differing significantly among institutions (P
