Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia Clinical Trial
Official title:
Inflammatory Markers and Surfactant Proteins in Preterm Infants at Risk of Developing Chronic Lung Disease: an Observational Study
The introduction of exogenous surfactant therapy has significantly improved the mortality in preterm infants born between 23- and 28-weeks of gestation. However, the therapy has not affected the prevalence of sequelae such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia [BPD] and it may be argued that it has actually increased. BPD is a lung condition that affects up to 40% of premature babies born between 23 and 28 weeks gestational age. The prevalence of BPD decreases with increasing gestational age but can affect infants born at term who have required mechanical ventilation. It is most commonly defined based on the need for oxygen past 36 weeks post-menstrual age [PMA]. The pathogenesis of BPD is multifactorial and involves a complex balance between the underdeveloped lungs, infection, inflammation, oxygen toxicity and ventilator induced injury. In this study the investigators aim to develop a greater understanding of the interactions between the inflammatory markers present in endotracheal aspirates [ETA] and serum of preterm infants and surfactant components (including surfactant protein D-SP-D levels) in the lungs and in the serum of preterm ventilated infants. The investigators aim to recruit infants born between 23+0 and 29+6 weeks of gestation at University College London Hospital admitted to the neonatal unit, who are at risk of developing respiratory distress syndrome [RDS] and progression to BPD. The investigators plan to study the correlation between the concentrations of surfactant components (in particular SP-D) and inflammatory markers in infants across the range of gestations specified. In order to do this, the investigators will obtain gastric aspirates, endotracheal aspirates [ETA] and blood samples at birth, 24hrs and days 2 through to day 7 from participants. ETA will only be obtained if the infants are intubated and ventilated, collected by a standard technique routinely used in nursing care of ventilated babies using 1-2mls of saline.ETA and blood samples will then be analysed for levels of surfactant proteins in particular SP-D and inflammatory and immunological markers [cell counts of neutrophils, macrophages, MMPs, neutrophil elastase, IL-8, IL-6, IL 11 and IL-1]. This will allow us to map the influence of SP-D on pro and anti-inflammatory markers that have a role in the inflammatory component of BPD in these infants. Clinical data will also be collected at specified time points correlating with the plasma, gastric aspirates and endotracheal aspirates. The investigators aim to correlate clinical ventilatory parameters, infection factors and maternal factors with the inflammatory and surfactant protein profiles. In addition, the investigators will apply the international neonatal consortium Neonatal Adverse severity scores to gain a better understanding of the baseline incidence of adverse events in premature infants that are admitted to a neonatal unit.
