  "abstract": "Background To evaluate cerebral Doppler ultrasonography parameters for predicting hemodynamically significant patent ductus arteriosus (hsPDA) in very premature infants. Methods This prospective cohort study included preterm infants (gestational age [GA] ≤ 30 weeks) who were admitted to a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit. Blood flow velocities, resistive and pulsatility indices of anterior cerebral artery (ACA) were measured at the first 24 and 72 h of life using transcranial Doppler ultrasound. The pediatric cardiologist performed echocardiographic evaluations of all infants at 72 h postnatally. Results A total of 77 infants (27 and 50 in the hsPDA and non-hsPDA groups) were included. Mean GA was 27.9 ± 2 and 28.6 ± 1.6 weeks, and mean birth weight was 1056 ± 248 and 1106 ± 269 g in the hsPDA and non-hsPDA groups, respectively; (p = 0.094, p = 0.46). Infants in the hsPDA group had significantly higher pulsatility index and resistive index (RI) than those in the non-hsPDA group at 24 h (p < 0.001 and p < 0.001, respectively). Multivariate analysis revealed that ACA RI above 0.75 at 24 h was an independent predictor for hsPDA. Conclusion ACA RI measurement may have a potential role, in combination with other clinical parameters, in the early prediction of hsPDA in premature infants; however, further studies are required to validate these findings.",
