OBJECTIVE: This study aims to investigate the association between fluid intake in the first 4 days of life and the subsequent severity of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very low-birth-weight infants (VLBWI). STUDY DESIGN: A retrospective chart review of 75 infants with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks and a birth weight of < 1,500 g was performed. Demographic, clinical data, associated maternal risk factors, and amount of fluid received in the first 4 days of life were analyzed. RESULTS: Severe BPD was associated with a lower gestational age (27.04 ± 2.073 wks vs. 28.70 ± 1.706 wks, p=0.001), lower birth weight (981.44 ± 244.54 vs. 1,199.63 ± 165.39 g, p < 0.001), use of surfactant (91.7 vs. 63%, p=0.002), patent ductus arteriousus (PDA) (70.8 vs. 37%, p=0.004), pulmonary hemorrhage (14.6 vs. 0%, p=0.045), and more fluids received from the 2nd to 4th days of life (346.44 ± 42.38 mL/kg vs. 323.91 ± 27.62 mL/kg, p=0.007). A cut off point of 345 mL/kg of fluids from the 2nd to 4th days of life was selected using receiver operating characteristic curve analysis, and remained a significant risk factor even after multiple logistic regression analysis. CONCLUSION: Our findings demonstrate that VLBWI who received higher fluid intake from the 2nd to 4th days of life are at an increased risk of developing severe BPD.
