| Abstract |
Persistent pulmonary hypertension of the newborn (PPHN) is a common neonatal condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality. First-line diagnostic and treatment options such as echocardiography and inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) are not routinely available in resource limited settings and alternative treatment modalities need to be utilized. This study was conducted to assess current diagnostic and management strategies used for PPHN in Indian neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). A questionnaire in multiple choice question format was sent to practising neonatologists in India via an online survey tool between July to August 2021. Information pertaining to demographic data, diagnostic criteria and management strategies of PPHN was requested. The responses were collated and information processed. There were 118 respondent NICUs (response rate 74%). The majority of neonatal units (65%) admitted an average of 1-3 patients of PPHN per month. Targeted neonatal echocardiography (TnECHO) was practised in 80% of the units. Most common management strategies being followed were pulmonary vasodilators (88.1%), inotropes (85.6%), conventional ventilation (68.6%) and high frequency ventilation (59.3%). The most preferred pulmonary vasodilator was sildenafil (79%) and inotropic agent was milrinone (32%). Only 25% of respondents reported use of iNO. None of the participating units used extracorporeal membrane oxygenation. We found wide variability in management practices of PPHN across Indian NICUs. Non-selective pulmonary vasodilators are more widely used than iNO. There is an urgent need for structured TnECHO training programs and evidence based national guidelines for standardized management of PPHN as per availability of resources in India. Additional research on low cost alternative therapies to iNO in Indian settings might be helpful. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 April 2023.
All research outputs
#7,653,650
of 23,575,346 outputs
Outputs from BMC Pediatrics
#1,411
of 3,110 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#93,886
of 301,660 outputs
Outputs of similar age from BMC Pediatrics
#11
of 55 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,575,346 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 67th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,110 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.8. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 54% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 301,660 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 68% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 55 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 80% of its contemporaries.
