Popis: Background: Paracetamol promotes early closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA), and it may affect inflammation after preterm birth. Objective: The aim of this study was to evaluate the association between paracetamol treatment and serum inflammatory biomarkers in very preterm infants with respiratory distress. Study design: The infants were randomly assigned to intravenous paracetamol or placebo during the first 4 days of life, and others received a lower dose of paracetamol unblinded. Serum samples were used for the analysis of 10 cytokines, C-reactive protein (CRP) and malondialdehyde (MDA). The impact of paracetamol on the biomarkers was evaluated, based on the levels during the early (
