Study design: We retrospectively analyzed repeated measures of oxygenation index (OI; Paw*FiO(2)x100/PaO2) among 158 neonates for temporal preoperative trends. We defined physiologic stability using OI and characterized ventilator days and discharge age relative to delay in repair beyond physiologic stability. Results: The OI in the first 24 h of life was temporally reliable and representative of the preoperative mean (ICC 0.70, 95% CI 0.61-0.77). A pre-operative OI of <= 9.4 (AUC 0.95) was predictive of survival. Surgical delay after an OI <= 9.4 resulted in increased ventilator days (1.4, 95% CI 1.1-1.9) and discharge age (1.5, 95% CI 1.2-2.0). When prospectively applied to a subsequent cohort, an OI <= 9.4 was again reflective of physiologic stability prior to repair. Conclusion: OI values are temporally reliable and change minimally after 24 h age. Delay in surgical repair of CDH beyond initial stability increases ventilator days and discharge age without a survival benefit. Published by Elsevier Inc. 收起
