Study questions routine ibuprofen for preemie heart condition

This study looked at 541 premature babies with a common heart condition called patent ductus arteriosus (PDA). Researchers compared those who received ibuprofen treatment to those who were simply monitored with supportive care. The goal was to see which approach leads to better outcomes, such as closing the heart opening and reducing complications like lung disease. The findings help doctors decide whether to treat or wait in different groups of premature infants.
