BACKGROUND: Diffuse white matter abnormality (diffuse excessive high signal intensity) is the most common finding on structural brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) at term-equivalent age in very preterm infants. Yet, there remains a large gap in our understanding of the etiology of diffuse white matter abnormality. Our objective was to evaluate perinatal and neonatal inflammation-associated antecedents of diffuse white matter abnormality on MRI.
METHODS: We prospectively enrolled 110 very preterm infants born at ≤31 weeks gestational age and collected data on multiple perinatal/neonatal exposures, especially inflammation initiating-illnesses. We performed structural MRI at term-equivalent age and quantified the volume of diffuse white matter abnormality objectively. Multivariable regression was used to identify clinical antecedents of diffuse white matter abnormality.
RESULTS: The mean (S.D.) birth gestational age of the final study sample of 98 very preterm infants was 28.3 (2.5) weeks. Multiple inflammation initiating-illnesses were associated with diffuse white matter abnormality in univariate analyses. In multivariable linear regression analyses controlling for gestational age, severe retinopathy of prematurity (P < 0.001) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (P = 0.006) were independent risk factors, whereas maternal treatment with 17-hydroxyprogesterone (P < 0.001) was protective of later development of objectively quantified diffuse white matter abnormality.
CONCLUSIONS: We identified several perinatal and neonatal antecedent clinical factors associated with diffuse white matter abnormality. Although we found some support for inflammation as a common underlying mechanism, larger studies are needed to validate inflammation as a potential common pathway to the development of diffuse white matter abnormality in very preterm infants.
