Objective: To evaluate the association between furosemide exposure and risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Study design: This was a retrospective cohort study of infants (2004-2015) 23-29 weeks gestational age and 501-1249 g birth weight. We compared demographic and clinical characteristics of infants exposed and not exposed to furosemide between postnatal day 7 and 36 weeks postmenstrual age. We examined the association between furosemide exposure and 2 outcomes: BPD and BPD or death. We performed multivariable probit regression models that included demographic and clinical variables in addition to 2 instrumental variables furosemide exposure by discharge year; and furosemide exposure by site. Results: Of 37,693 included infants, 19,235 (51%) were exposed to furosemide; these infants were more premature and had higher respiratory support. Of 33,760 infants who survived to BPD evaluation, 15,954 (47%) had BPD. An increase in the proportion of furosemide exposure days by 10 percentage points was associated with a decrease in both the incidence of BPD (4.6 percentage points, P = .001), and BPD or death (3.7 percentage points, P=0.01). Conclusion: More days of furosemide exposure between postnatal day 7 and 36 weeks was associated with decreased risk of BPD and a combined outcome of BPD or death.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
