简要总结
This study uses frequency domain near-infrared spectroscopy coupled with diffuse correlation spectroscopy (FDNIRS-DCS) technology for monitoring cerebral blood flow (CBF) and cerebral oxygen metabolism (CMRO2) at the bedside for newborns with germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH) and/or post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) in comparison to newborns with hydrocephalus of a different etiology (VC) and healthy controls (HC). We hypothesize that baseline cerebral metabolic dysfunction is a better biomarker for GM-IVH and PHH severity and response to PHH treatment.
This is a Boston Children's Hospital (BCH)-institutional review board(IRB) approved, multi-site study that includes collaboration with Brigham and Women's Hospital (BWH) and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center (BIDMC). Pei-Yi Lin receives funding from The National Institute of Health (NIH) to support the study and is the overall principal Investigator (PI) overseeing the study.
详细描述
Introduction and specific aims:
Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH) occurs in 45% of extremely low birth weight (ELBW) premature infants, often leading to long-term neurodevelopmental impairments (NDI). Post-hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) is a common complication of GM-IVH and increases the risk of major NDI to 75-90%. Currently, the only bedside tool to assess for hemorrhage and monitor for secondary hydrocephalus is ultrasound. Although increasing ventricular size is currently used to determine need for intervention, measures based on cerebral physiology are needed to better determine the impact of the expanding ventricles on individual cerebral metabolism.
Our group has developed advanced FDNIRS-DCS technology for monitoring cerebral oxygen metabolism (CMRO2) in newborns at the bedside. We hypothesize that baseline and evoked cerebral metabolic dysfunctions are better biomarkers for GM-IVH and PHH severity and response to PHH treatment. To test our hypotheses, we will address the following specific aims:
Aim 1: Determine post-natal cerebral hemodynamics and oxygen metabolism trajectories in GM-IVH and PHH neonates with respect to normal controls and differences between PHH infants and infants affected by hydrocephalus due to other pathologies.
We hypothesize that:

研究组 & 干预措施
Healthy Control (HC)
Premature infants without diagnosed brain injuries. FDNIRS-DCS measures will be performed up to once a day if clinically feasible.
GM-IVH
Premature infants who developed germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage. FDNIRS-DCS measures will be performed up to once a day if clinically feasible.
Posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH)
Premature infants with complications of hydrocephalus secondary to intraventricular hemorrhage and have the potential to receive endoscopic third ventriculostomy (ETV) with choroid plexus cauterization (CPC) and/or ventriculoperitoneal (VP) shunting for clinical treatment.
FDNIRS-DCS measures will be performed up to once a day if clinically feasible. Additional FDNIRS-DCS measures will be performed on the day of hydrocephalus treatment to monitor the treatment response if clinically feasible. These additional measures are limited to up to four times a day.
干预措施: ETV/CPC (Procedure)
Ventriculomegaly Control (VC)
Infants who have symptomatic hydrocephalus of any etiology except post-hemorrhagic etiology and have the potential to receive ETV/CPC and/or VP shunting for clinical treatment.
FDNIRS-DCS measures will be performed up to once a day if clinically feasible. Additional FDNIRS-DCS measures will be performed on the day of hydrocephalus treatment to monitor the treatment response if clinically feasible. These additional measures are limited to up to four times a day.
