Reproducibility of the EL-Khuffash PDA severity score and PDA diameter measurements in extremely preterm infants

Reproducibility of the EL-Khuffash PDA severity score and PDA diameter measurements in extremely preterm infants

Almost all randomised controlled trials use a Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) diameter ≥ 1.5 mm as the primary criterion to ascribe haemodynamic significance to the PDA. The aim of this study was to evaluate if calculation of a PDA Severity Score (PDAsc) possessed superior intra- and inter-rater repr...

Zusammenfassung:Almost all randomised controlled trials use a Patent Ductus Arteriosus (PDA) diameter ≥ 1.5 mm as the primary criterion to ascribe haemodynamic significance to the PDA. The aim of this study was to evaluate if calculation of a PDA Severity Score (PDAsc) possessed superior intra- and inter-rater reproducibility when compared with the measurement of PDA diameter alone. This cross-sectional study assessed echocardiograms performed on infants
