Observational Study
Association of sedation and anesthesia on cognitive outcomes in very premature infants: a retrospective observational study.
Cognitive outcomes in preterm infants may be adversely affected by use of sedation and anesthetic agents. We investigated the associations between anesthetics/sedatives and full-scale intelligence quotient (FSIQ) measured at 36 months corrected age (CA) in very preterm infants (born < 29 weeks gestational age). ⋯ Exposure of very preterm infants to anesthetics/sedatives on the United States Food and Drug Administration warning list was associated with a decrease in FSIQ points at 36 months CA. There was no association between opioid exposure and FSIQ.
