Popis: Introduction: In this prospective study, we compared the efficacy and safety of ibuprofen, indomethacin, and paracetamol in the closure of patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) in preterm neonates. Materials and Methods: This randomized prospective study was conducted in the Division of Pediatric Cardiology, M. D. M and Umaid Hospital, Jodhpur. A total of 105 preterm neonates with gestational age 0.05). BUN and serum creatinine levels were significantly increased after treatment in indomethacin and ibuprofen groups (P < 0.0001 and P < 0.05, respectively). Conclusion: Our study shows that IV paracetamol is as effective as indomethacin and ibuprofen in promoting the closure of hs-PDA in premature infants with a better safety profile.
