Objective.
Identification of the weight and postmenstrual age (PMA) at successful weaning of NCPAP in preterm neonates and the factors influencing the successful wean.
Study Design.
Retrospective review of 454 neonates ≤32 weeks of gestational age (GA) who were placed on NCPAP and successfully weaned to room air was performed.
Results.
Neonates had a mean birth weight (BW) of 1357±392 grams with a mean GA of 29.3±2.2 weeks.
Neonates were weaned off NCPAP at mean weight of 1611±432 grams and mean PMA of 32.9±2.4 weeks.
Univariate analysis showed that chorioamnionitis, intubation, surfactant use, PDA, sepsis/NEC, anemia, apnea, GER and IVH were significantly associated with the time to NCPAP wean.
On multivariate analysis, among neonates that were intubated, BW was the only significant factor (P<0.001) that was inversely related to time to successful NCPAP wean.
Amongst non-intubated neonates, along with BW (P<0.01), chorioamnionitis (P<0.01), anemia (P<0.0001), and GER (P<0.02) played a significant role in weaning from NCPAP.
Conclusion.
Neonates were weaned off NCPAP at mean weight of 1611±432 grams and mean PMA of 32.9±2.4 weeks.
BW significantly affects weaning among intubated and non-intubated neonates, though in neonates who were never intubated chorioamnionitis, anemia and GER also significantly affected the duration on NCPAP.
