Oral Ibuprofen versus Intravenous Ibuprofen or Intravenous Indomethacin for the Treatment of Patent Ductus Arteriosus in Preterm Infants: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.
Conclusion: Oral ibuprofen for PDA closure appears to be as effective as IV ibuprofen and IV indomethacin. Due to small sample size, lack of data in extremely preterm neonates, and methodological limitations of reviewed trials, definitive conclusions cannot be drawn. Randomized trials with a low risk of bias and adequate sample size in extremely preterm infants are urgently needed. PMID: 22414850 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher] (Source: Neonatology)
