Prognostic factors for treatment outcomes in transient tachypnea of the newborn

Abstract

Late-preterm delivery, lower initial umbilical artery pH (<7.25), and lower Apgar score at 1 min were independently associated with poor prognostic treatment outcomes in infants with TTN.

The Effect of Inhaled Salbutamol in Transient of Tachypnea of the Newborn: A Randomized Clinical Trial

“…The risk factors associated with TTN includes; prematurity, male sex, large birth weight, meconium-stained amniotic fluid, cesarian section delivery(esp. elective cesarean), gestational diabetes, maternal chorioamnionitis and maternal asthma (2)(3)(4)(5).…”

Transient tachypnea of the newborn: are there bedside clues for predicting the need of ventilation support?

“…TTN is generally a benign disease and treated with a brief course of oxygen. However, some of the cases need invasive or non-invasive respiratory support 6,7,11,12 .…”

Dopamine treatment does not need speed recovery of newborns from transient tachypnea

“…Previous studies have reported that lower Apgar scores, male sex, late-preterm delivery, maternal diabetes, and cesarean delivery were related to poor prognoses in infants with TTN [18][19][20]. Aydemir et al [21] reported that measurements of NT-proBNP are valuable for evaluating the prognosis of lung disease and can also identify infants at risk of prolonged tachypnea and respiratory support requirement.…”
