Results: PPHN occurred in 11 of the 29 (38%) newborns with FMH. One third of neonates was asphyctic at birth (9/29), of whom five developed PPHN (56%). Six (21%) FMH cases were treated with an IUT. Table I shows the differences between the IUT group and the no-IUT group. Conclusions: FMH newborns are at increased risk of PPHN. Because of the small sample size the comparative analysis is underpowered. There might be a clinically important difference in outcome however, and treatment with IUT might reduce the risk of PPHN and severe brain injury.
