OBJECTIVE Acetaminophen (APAP) is an alternative to indomethacin and ibuprofen for treatment of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). The side effect profile of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) presents enteral feeding safety concerns; however, the safety of enteral feeding on APAP is largely unknown. Optimal feeding strategies during pharmacological PDA treatment are unknown, leading to practice variation. This study aims to assess the incidence of adverse gastrointestinal (GI) outcomes in neonates treated with APAP for PDA closure while receiving enteral feedings. METHODS Single-center retrospective cohort study of 59 extremely low birth weight (ELBW), premature neonates who received APAP for PDA treatment divided into Low Volume (LV; ≤ 20 mL/kg/day) and High Volume (HV; > 20 mL/kg/day) enteral feeding groups. The primary outcome was the incidence of any suspected or confirmed necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Timing of nutrition milestones, parenteral nutrition (PN) days, and adverse outcomes (feeding intolerance, liver dysfunction, death prior to discharge) were evaluated. RESULTS The incidence of suspected or confirmed NEC was 19.5% in the LV group and 13.3% in the HV group (p = 0.593). The HV group reached full feeds 6 days sooner (18 vs 24 days, p = 0.024) and had fewer PN days (17 vs 23.5 days, p = 0.044) with no difference in adverse outcomes. CONCLUSIONS Provision of > 20 mL/kg/day of enteral feeds during APAP treatment of PDA decreased time to full feeds and PN days compared to trophic feedings (≤ 20 mL/kg/day) with no difference in adverse GI outcomes. Continuing enteral feeding during APAP PDA treatment appears safe while improving achievement of nutritional milestones. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
