| Core Tip |
Eighteen randomized controlled trials involving 1946 patients were included. Acetaminophen demonstrates comparable efficacy to ibuprofen with a more favorable safety profile, particularly regarding gastrointestinal bleeding and renal complications. This study suggests acetaminophen as first-line pharmacologic therapy in preterm infants with contraindications to nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs or increased bleeding risk/renal dysfunction. |
