Abstract

Background: Patent ductus arteriosus is a common congenital heart defect among preterm neonates. Preterm newborns with prolonged ductal patency have been linked to considerable short- and long-term morbidities, as well as higher mortality; however, systematic treatment of everyone during the neonatal period has resulted in a detectable improvement in long-term results. COX inhibitors like Indomethacin and Ibuprofen are approved for PDA closure in preterm neonates. This study compares the efficacy and safety of IV Paracetamol and oral Ibuprofen in preterm and term neonates with HsPDA.
