Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a chronic lung disease associated with premature birth and
characterized by early lung injury. In this review we discuss some pitfalls, problems, and …

An increasing body of evidence has revealed that interventions performed during
resuscitation of extremely-low-gestational-age neonates (ELGANs) may have a direct …

Background Systemic glucocorticoids reduce the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia
among extremely preterm infants, but they may compromise brain development. The effects …

OBJECTIVE. A count of 3 neonatal morbidities (bronchopulmonary dysplasia, brain injury,
and severe retinopathy of prematurity) strongly predict the risk of death or neurosensory …

Emerging evidence indicates that early life events can increase the risk for developing
chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Using an inducible transgenic mouse model …

Importance Dexamethasone to prevent bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very preterm
neonates was associated with adverse neurodevelopmental events. Early low-dose …

BACKGROUND. Pulmonary disease among infants of< 28 weeks' gestation (extremely low
gestational age newborns) often has the following pattern: the infant starts out with little need …

Male sex is considered an independent predictor for the development of bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD) after adjusting for other confounders. BPD is characterized by an arrest in …

Rationale: It remains unclear whether premature birth, in the absence of neonatal respiratory
disease, results in abnormal growth and development of the lung. We previously reported …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) refers to a heterogeneous group of lung disorders in
infants that is commonly associated with prematurity and surfactant deficiency. BPD results …
