Patent ductus arteriosus (PDA) is a morbid condition commonly seen in premature infants. Cyclooxygenase (COX) inhibitors, such as indomethacin and ibuprofen, are often used for the treatment of PDA in preterm infants, and they work by reducing the production of prostaglandin. However, as observed in clinical practice, not all PDAs in preterm infants can be closed using COX inhibitors. Some studies have demonstrated that gestational age, birth weight, B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP), and ductal diameter can predict the therapeutic responsiveness to COX inhibitors. This paper reviews the factors that can predict successful closure of the PDA in preterm infants using indomethacin or ibuprofen and presents new opinions and recent findings on this topic, including the predictive roles of intrauterine growth restriction, timing of the treatment, and the importance of platelet count and arterial pH. We also discuss the prospects for future studies to improve the individualized therapy of PDA in premature neonates.
