Mashup Score: 3Neonatal blood pressure by birth weight, gestational age, and postnatal age: a systematic review - Maternal Health, Neonatology and Perinatology - 12 day(s) ago
Background Blood pressure is a vital hemodynamic marker during the neonatal period. However, normative values are often derived from small observational studies. Understanding the normative range would help to identify ideal thresholds for intervention to treat hypotension or hypertension. Therefore, the aim of this study was to assess observed blood pressure values in neonates who have not received any blood-pressure modifying treatments from birth to three months postnatal age and whether these vary according to birth weight, gestational age and postnatal age. Methods This was a systematic review. A literature search was conducted in MEDLINE, PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, and CINAHL from 1946 to 2017 on blood pressure in neonates from birth to 3 months of age (PROSPERO ID CRD42018092886). Unpublished data were included where appropriate. Results Of 3,587 non-duplicate publications identified, 30 were included (one unpublished study). Twelve studies contained data grouped by birth

A systematic review published in Maternal Health, Neonatology and Perinatology demonstrates that birth weight and gestational age are both positively correlated with higher blood pressure which continues to increase throughout the postnatal period. https://t.co/Vf7t9hT13Y
