Abstract
Patients with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) have shown clinical improvement after secundum atrial septal defect (ASD) closure. We sought to determine if this post-ASD closure improvement is secondary to the expected course in BPD patients or related to the closure itself. A novel BPD-ASD score was created to assess patients' clinical status (higher score = worse disease) and applied to 10 BPD-ASD inpatients weighing ≤ 10 kg who underwent ASD closure. The score and its subcomponents were retrospectively calculated serially ranging from 8 weeks pre- to 8 weeks post-intervention, and pre- and post-intervention score slopes were created. These slopes were compared using mixed regression modeling with an interaction term. There was a significant difference in pre- versus post-intervention slope with the most score drop the first week post-intervention (-2.1 + /- 0.8,
