ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To explore the correlation of urinary cysteinyl leukotriene E4 (CysLTE4) and diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants.METHOD:
One hundred and fifty-eight newborn infants were consecutively admitted to the neonatal intensive care units of First Affiliated Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from November 2014 to October 2015.The infants were divided into 3 groups according to the diagnosis on discharge.Sixty-one term infants were classified as having no pulmonary diseases, 52 premature infants were classified as without BPD, and 45 premature infants with BPD were diagnosed at 28 d after birth.Urinary CysLTE4 levels of newborns within 3 days after birth were measured in a blinded way by enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay and were compared among 3 groups, and were evaluated for the diagnostic value and the correlation of gestational age and birth weight.Statistical analysis was performed using correlation analysis, one-way analysis of variance and χ(2) test etc.RESULT:
In infants with BPD, the mean urinary CysLTE4 level was (191.0±29.3) ng/L which significantly higher than the premature group without BPD ((164.1±22.7) ng/L) and term infant group ((151.6±41.9) ng/L, F=18.70, P<0.05). Urinary CysLTE4 level within 3 days of life in newborn inversely correlated with gestational age and birth weight (Pearson=-0.33, -0.38, P<0.01). The area under the curve was 0.78, 95%CI 0.70-0.86, P<0.01, when cutoff was 187.7 ng/L, with Youden index 0.59, sensitivity 77.8% and specificity 81.4%, respectively.CONCLUSION:
Urinary CysLTE4 level is up-regulated in BPD infants within early days of life which may be a useful biomarker of early diagnoses of BPD.
