Abstract
While lower birth weight and gestational age are known risk factors for VFI following PDA ligation, in this study, these factors were also associated with a decreased likelihood of VFI resolution. Furthermore, PDA ligation appears to be a risk for both the development and persistence of VFI. This evidence should inform prognosis and intervention decisions for preterm infants with VFI.
