| Abstract | Importance: While surfactant therapy for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants has been evaluated in clinical trials, less is known about how surfactant is used outside such a framework. Objective: To evaluate registered use, off-label use, and omissions of surfactant treatment by gestational age (GA) and associations with outcomes, mainly among very preterm infants (GA <32 weeks). Design, setting, and participants: This population-based cohort study used registry data for 97 377 infants born in Sweden between 2009 and 2018. Infants did not have malformations and were admitted for neonatal care. Data analysis was conducted from June 2019 to June 2020. Exposures: Timing and number of surfactant administrations, off-label use, and omission of use. Registered use was defined by drug label (1-3 administrations for RDS). Omissions were defined as surfactant not administered despite mechanical ventilation for RDS. Main outcome and measures: In-hospital survival, pneumothorax, intraventricular hemorrhage grade 3 to 4, duration of mechanical ventilation, use of postnatal systemic corticosteroids for lung disease, treatment with supplemental oxygen at 28 days' postnatal age and at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age. Odds ratios (ORs) were calculated and adjusted for any prenatal corticosteroid treatment, cesarean delivery, GA, infant sex, Apgar score at 10 minutes, and birth weight z score of less than -2. Results: In total, 7980 surfactant administrations were given to 5209 infants (2233 [42.9%] girls; 2976 [57.1%] boys): 629 (12.1%) born at full term, 691 (13.3%) at 32 to 36 weeks' GA, 1544 (29.6%) at 28 to 31 weeks' GA, and 2345 (45.0%) at less than 28 weeks' GA. Overall, 977 infants (18.8%) received off-label use. In 1364 of 3508 infants (38.9%) with GA of 22 to 31 weeks, the first administration of surfactant was given more than 2 hours after birth, and this was associated with higher odds of pneumothorax (adjusted OR [aOR], 2.59; 95% CI, 1.76-3.83), intraventricular hemorrhage grades 3 to 4 (aOR, 1.71; 95% CI, 1.23-2.39), receipt of postnatal corticosteroids (aOR, 1.57; 95% CI, 1.22-2.03), and longer duration of assisted ventilation (aOR, 1.34; 95% CI, 1.04-1.72) but also higher survival (aOR, 1.45; 95% CI, 1.10-1.91) than among infants treated within 2 hours of birth. In 146 infants (2.8%), the recommended maximum of 3 surfactant administrations was exceeded but without associated improvements in outcome. Omission of surfactant treatment occurred in 203 of 3551 infants (5.7%) who were receiving mechanical ventilation and was associated with lower survival (aOR, 0.49; 95% CI, 0.30-0.82). In full-term infants, 336 (53.4%) of those receiving surfactant had a diagnosis of meconium aspiration syndrome. Surfactant for meconium aspiration was not associated with improved neonatal outcomes. Conclusions and relevance: In this study, adherence to best practices and labels for surfactant use in newborn infants varied, with important clinical implications for neonatal outcomes. |
