Premature birth is a risk factor for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD); both of which are
associated with obstructive airway disease throughout childhood. Impulse oscillometry (IOS) …

Extreme preterm (EP) birth, denoting delivery before the onset of the third trimester,
interrupts intrauterine development and causes significant early-life pulmonary trauma …

Objectives To assess if a previous diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was
associated with poorer lung function at 16 to 19 years of age, regardless of whether …

Background Dead space is the volume not taking part in gas exchange and, if increased,
could affect alveolar ventilation if there is too low a delivered volume. We determined if there …

Introduction Survival from even very premature birth is improving, but long-term respiratory
morbidity following neonatal chronic lung disease (bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD)) has …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common sequela of prematurity and is
characterized by alveolar simplification and lung angiogenesis failure. The aim of this study …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is now the commonest adverse outcome of very
premature birth; this is largely due to the increased survival of affected infants and the …

Objectives To assess if intrauterine growth retardation (IUGR) was associated with reduced
lung function at 16–19 years. Working Hypothesis Very prematurely born young people who …

Objectives To determine if there were differences in lung function at 16–19 years of age
between males and females born very prematurely. Working Hypothesis Females compared …

Chronic respiratory morbidity is unfortunately common in childhood, particularly in those
born very prematurely or with congenital anomalies affecting pulmonary development and …
