Survival and neurodevelopmental impairment of outborn preterm infants at 5.5 years of age: an EPIPAGE-2 prospective, matched study using multiple imputation

Objective To determine whether birth outside a level-3 centre (outborn) is associated with a difference in the combined outcome of mortality or moderate-to-severe neurological impairment at 5.5 years of age compared with birth in a level-3 centre (inborn) when antenatal steroids and gestational age...

description Objective To determine whether birth outside a level-3 centre (outborn) is associated with a difference in the combined outcome of mortality or moderate-to-severe neurological impairment at 5.5 years of age compared with birth in a level-3 centre (inborn) when antenatal steroids and gestational age (GA) are accounted for.Design Individual matched study nested within a prospective cohort. Each outborn infant was matched using GA and antenatal steroids with a maximum of four inborns. Conditional logistic regression was used to calculate ORs before being adjusted using maternal and birth characteristics. Analyses were carried out after multiple imputation for missing data.Setting EPIPAGE-2 French national prospective cohort including births up to 34 weeks GA inclusive.Patients Outborn and inborn control infants selected between 24 and 31 weeks GA were followed in the neonatal period and to 2 and 5.5 years. 3335 infants were eligible of whom all 498 outborns and 1235 inborn infants were included—equivalent to 2.5 inborns for each outborn.Main outcome measure Survival without moderate-to-severe neurodevelopmental impairment at 5.5 years.Results Chorioamnionitis, pre-eclampsia, caesarian birth and small-for-dates were more frequent among inborns, and spontaneous labour and antepartum haemorrhage among outborns. There was no difference in the main outcome measure at 5.5 years of age (adjusted OR 1.09, 95% CI 0.82 to 1.44); sensitivity analyses suggested improved outcomes at lower GAs for inborns.Conclusion In this GA and steroid matched cohort, there was no difference in survival without moderate-to-severe neurodevelopmental impairment to 5.5 years of age between inborn and outborn very preterm children. This suggests steroids might be important in determining outcomes.
