UNASSIGNED: Objective   This study aims to investigate the effects of antenatal @entity2399 on intestinal blood flow in preterm neonates. Study Design   In this prospective case-match study, 25 preterm neonates exposed to @entity2399 antenatally were included (study group). Overall, 25 gestational age-matched neonates who had no exposure to @entity1760 constituted the control group. Serial daily Doppler flow measurements of @entity6029 ( @entity6029 ) were performed. The time to reach full feeds, first meconium passage were assessed. Presence of feeding intolerance or @entity3166 was recorded. Results   Blood flow velocities of @entity6029 were not different between the groups during the first five postnatal days. However, @entity6029 blood flow showed an increasing trend in the control group unlike the study group (control group, p   <   0.001; study group, p   =   0.29). There was no significant difference between the two groups regarding the time to reach full feeds or first meconium passage and presence of feeding intolerance. No case of @entity3166 was seen. Conclusion   Antenatal @entity1760 does not significantly affect intestinal blood flow, but it seems to attenuate the increasing trend of the intestinal blood flow in the early postnatal days. However, this study failed to show any impact of this finding on clinical outcomes.
