- Abstract : Aim: To identify and evaluate the evidence documenting the association between neonatal morphine and later childhood neuropsychological development. Method: We conducted a systematic literature search of eight electronic databases from inception until June 2019. We included all randomized controlled trials (RCTs) and cohort studies recruiting neonates who received morphine treatment, and measuring neuropsychological development outcomes with a minimum follow‐up of 6 months. Results: Twelve separate reports from three RCTs and five cohort studies met our inclusion criteria. Owing to the small number of the included trials and the variable study designs, a meta‐analysis was not performed. The findings from this review indicated that neonatal morphine use had no adverse effects on behaviour, cognition, motor, and executive function development at 8 to 9 years and earlier; except for the inconsistent conclusions on internalizing behavioural problems at 5 to 7 years and cognitive and motor developments at 18 months. Interpretation: Why a child needs morphine may have a more profound impact on later neuropsychological development than morphine itself. The small number, high heterogeneity, and limitations of the included studies limit confidence in the result of this systematic review. What this paper adds: Randomized controlled trials indicate that neonatal morphine had no adverse effect on later neuropsychological development.

Cohort studies suggest that neonatal morphine might be associated with poorer motor and cognitive development. Cohort studies also suggest that neonatal morphine might be associated with more internalizing behavioural problems.

Abstract : Uso de morfina en el período neonatal y desarrollo neuropsicológico posterior: una revisión sistemática: Objetivo: Identificar y evaluar la evidencia que documenta la asociación entre el uso de morfina en el período neonatal y el desarrollo neuropsicológico infantil posterior. Método: Realizamos una búsqueda sistemática de la literatura de ocho bases de datos electrónicas hasta junio de 2019. Incluimos todos los ensayos randomizados controlados (ERC) y estudios de cohortes que reclutaran neonatos que recibieron tratamiento con morfina, y medimos los resultados del desarrollo neuropsicológico con un seguimiento mínimo de 6 meses. Resultados: Doce informes separados de tres ERC y cinco estudios de cohortes cumplieron con nuestros criterios de inclusión. Debido al número pequeño de ensayos incluidos y a los diferentes diseños de estudio, no se realizó un metaanálisis. Los resultados de esta revisión indicaron que el uso de morfina en el período neonatal no tuvo efectos adversos sobre el comportamiento, la cognición, el desarrollo motor y la función ejecutiva a los 8 a 9 años o antes; excepto por las conclusiones inconsistentes sobre problemas de comportamiento de internalización a los 5 a 7 años y la evolución cognitiva y motora a los 18 meses. Interpretación: La razón por la que un niño necesita morfina puede tener un impacto más profundo en el desarrollo neuropsicológico posterior que la morfina misma. El número pequeño, la alta heterogeneidad y las limitaciones de los estudios incluidos limitan la confianza en el resultado de esta revisión sistemática. Abstract : Uso de morfina no período neonatal e desenvolvimento neuropsicológico posterior: uma revisão sistemática: Objetivo: Identificar e avaliar a evidência documentando a associação entre morfina neonatal e desenvolvimento neuropsicológico infantil posterior. Método: Realizamos uma busca sistemática na literatura em oito bases de dados eletrônicos do início até junho de 2019. Includímos todos os estudos clínicos randomizados (ECRs) e estudos de coorte que recrutassem neonatos que receberam tratamento com morfina, e mensuraram os resultados do desenvolvimento neuropsicológico com um acompanhamento mínimo de 6 meses. Resultados: Doze relatos separados dentre três ECRs e cinco estudos de coorte atenderam aos critérios de inclusão. Devido ao pequeno número de estudos incluídos e desenhos variáveis dos estudos, não foi realizada uma metanálise. Os achados desat revisão indicam que o uso de morfina neonatal não teve efeitos adversos no desenvolvimento do comportamento, função cognitiva, motora e executiva dos 8 aos 9 anos e antes disso; com a exceção de conclusões inconsistentes sobre problemas comportamentais internalizantes aos 5‐7 anos e desenvolvimento cognitive e motor aos 18 meses. Interpretação: Por quê uma criança precisa de morfina pode ter um impacto mais profundo no desenvolvimento neuropsicológico posterior do que a morfina em si. O pequeno número, alta heterogeneidade, e limitações dos estudos incluídos limitam a confiança nos resultados desta revisão sistemática. … (more)
