Background:We have previously shown an increased incidence of intermittent hypoxemic events (IH) in preterm infants with severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Animal models suggest that patterns of IH events may play a role in ROP severity as well. We hypothesize that specific IH patterns are associated with ROP in preterm infants.Methods:Variability in IH duration, severity and the time interval between IH (≤80%, ≥10 seconds and ≤3min) along with the frequency spectrum of the oxygen saturation (SpO(2)) waveform were assessed.Results:Severe ROP was associated with 1) an increased mean and standard deviation of the duration of IH (p<0.005), 2) more variability (Histogram Entropy) of the time interval between IH (p<0.005), 3) a higher IH nadir (p<0.05), 4) a time interval between IH of 1-20min (p<0.05) and 5) increased spectral power in the range of 0.002-0.008Hz (p<.05), corresponding to SpO(2) waveform oscillations of 2-8 minutes in duration. Spectral differences were detected as early as 14 days of life.Conclusions:Severe ROP was associated with more variable, longer, and less severe IH events. Identification of specific spectral components in the SpO(2) waveform may assist in early identification of infants at risk for severe ROP.Pediatric Research (2012); doi:10.1038/pr.2012.132. |
