INTRODUCTION: Neonates with cardiorespiratory compromise at delivery are at substantial risk of hypoxic neurologic injury and death. Though mitigation strategies such as ex-utero intrapartum treatment (EXIT) exist, the competing interests of neonatal beneficence, maternal non-maleficence, and just distribution of resources require consideration. Due to the rarity of these entities, there are few systematic data to guide evidence-based standards. This multi-institutional, interdisciplinary approach aims to elucidate the current scope of diagnoses that might be considered for such treatments and examine if treatment allocation and/or outcomes could be improved.
METHODS: After IRB approval, a survey investigating diagnoses appropriate for EXIT consultation and procedure, variables within each diagnosis, occurrence of maternal and neonatal adverse outcomes, and instances of suboptimal resource allocation in the last decade was sent to all North American Fetal Treatment Network center representatives. One response was recorded per center.
RESULTS: We received a 91% response rate and all but one center offer EXIT. Most centers (34/40, 85%) performed 1-5 EXIT consultations per year and 17/40 (42.5%) centers performed 1-5 EXIT procedures in the last 10 years. The diagnoses with the highest degree of agreement between centers surveyed to justify consultation for EXIT are head and neck mass (100%), congenital high airway obstruction (90%), and craniofacial skeletal conditions (82.5%). Maternal adverse outcomes were noted in 7.5% of centers while neonatal adverse outcomes in 27.5%. A large percentage of centers report cases of suboptimal selection for risk mitigation procedures and several centers experienced adverse neonatal and maternal outcomes.
CONCLUSION: This study captures the scope of EXIT indications and is the first to demonstrate the mismatch in resource allocation for this population. Further, it reports on attributable adverse outcomes. Given suboptimal allocation and adverse outcomes, further examination of indications, outcomes, and resource use is justified to drive evidence-based protocols.
