The objective was to determine the prevalence of pulmonary hypertension among ELBW infants by screening echocardiography and evaluate subsequent outcomes.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n All ELBW infants admitted to a regional perinatal center were evaluated for pulmonary hypertension with echocardiography at 4 weeks of age and subsequently if clinical signs suggestive of right-sided heart failure or severe lung disease were evident. Management was at discretion of the clinician, and infants were evaluated until discharge from the hospital or pre-discharge death occurred.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n One hundred forty-five ELBW infants (birth weight: 755 \u00b1 144 g; median gestational age: 26 weeks [interquartile range: 24\u201327]) were screened from December 2008 to February 2011. Overall, 26 (17.9%) were diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension at any time during hospitalization (birth weight: 665 \u00b1 140 g; median gestational age: 26 weeks [interquartile range: 24\u201327]): 9 (6.2%) by initial screening (early pulmonary hypertension) and 17 (11.7%) who were identified later (late pulmonary hypertension). Infants with pulmonary hypertension were more likely to receive oxygen treatment on day 28 compared with those without pulmonary hypertension (96% vs 75%, P &lt; .05). Of the 26 infants, 3 died (all in the late group because of cor pulmonale) before being discharged from the hospital.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n Pulmonary hypertension is relatively common, affecting at least 1 in 6 ELBW infants, and persists to discharge in most survivors. Routine screening of ELBW infants with echocardiography at 4 weeks of age identifies only one-third of the infants diagnosed with pulmonary hypertension. Further research is required to determine optimal detection and intervention strategies.<\/jats:p>\n
