PG - 49-53 LID - S0378-3782(19)30236-1 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.earlhumdev.2019.07.008 [doi] AB - BACKGROUND: Neonatal sepsis has been associated with poor neurodevelopmental outcome, however the evidence regarding the exact mechanism of the inflammation to the developing neonatal brain are inconclusive. AIMS: To investigate association between cerebral oxygenation during neonatal sepsis and neurodevelopmental outcome. STUDY DESIGN: Follow-up assessment of a previously described prospective case-control study. SUBJECTS: A cohort of late preterm (34-37 weeks' gestation) and preterm (<34 weeks' gestation) infants with sepsis and healthy controls, evaluated at 18-24 months of corrected gestational age with Bayley-III Scales for Infant and Toddler Development (BSID-III). OUTCOME MEASURES: To evaluate the association between cerebral tissue oxygenation index (cTOI) and fractional tissue oxygen extraction (FTOE), measured with near-infrared spectroscopy, during sepsis and the composite cognitive and motor index scores. RESULTS: Thirty-one infants with blood culture confirmed neonatal sepsis and thirty-five controls were recruited. The cerebral oxygenation was significantly lower in septic neonates, compared to controls (61 +/- 7 compared to 72 +/- 5; p < 0.001). Infants with sepsis had significantly lower cognitive and motor index scores and higher proportion of suboptimal cognitive (16% compared to 3%, p = 0.045) and motor (16% compared to none, p = 0.008) index score. The low mean cTOI and FTOE noted in septic infants were significantly associated with worse cognitive and motor composite index scores. CONCLUSIONS: Infants with lower cerebral oxygenation during neonatal sepsis are at increased risk of worse cognitive and motor scores in the neurodevelopmental assessment.
