QTc intervals are not prolonged in former ELBW infants at pre-adolescent age

Abstract: BACKGROUND: Whether preterm birth is associated with cardiac conduction or repolarization abnormalities in later life is still poorly explored, with conflicting data on QTc prolongation in former extreme low birth weight (ELBW, <1000 g) infants. METHODS: Twelve lead electrocardiograms (ECG) at rest, collected in the PREMATurity as predictor of children's Cardiovascularrenal Health (PREMATCH) study in former ELBW cases and term controls during pre-adolescence (8-14 years) were analyzed on corrected QT time (QTc… Show more

“…Based on the search strategy described, a limited number of papers were retrieved (25 for ‘long QT and preterm’), of which we retained three articles [ 7 9 ]. Twenty-two papers were not retained because they were reviews ( n = 2), case reports or clinical observations on congenital long QT (either maternal, fetal, or neonatal; n = 13), drug-related observations during neonatal care (cisapride, 4; erythromycin, 1; serotonin reuptake inhibitors, 1), or related to car seating in former preterm subjects ( n = 1) (ESM Table S1).…”

“…Using the SIGN approach, two papers (Salaets et al [ 9 ] and Gervais et al [ 8 ]) were classified as ‘high quality’. The study by Bassareo et al did not meet these criteria due to uncertainties on the representation of the population (marked difference in sex distribution, with 20/24 females in both cases and controls) and on the blinding procedures, and was hence classified as having ‘low quality’ [ 7 ].…”
