Despite advances in neonatal respiratory care, a diagnosis of BPD continues to be
associated with significant pulmonary morbidity over the first two decades of life. Long-term …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains the most common complication of premature
birth, imposing a significant and potentially life-long burden on patients and their families …

Rationale: Infants born prematurely have impaired capacity to deal with oxidative stress
shortly after birth. Objectives: We hypothesize that the relative impact of exposure to air …

Prematurity is the most common disruptor of lung development. The aim of our study was to
examine the function of the more vulnerable peripheral airways in former preterm children …

Objectives To compare lung function of extremely preterm (EP)-born infants with and without
bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) with that of healthy term-born infants, and to determine …

Objectives To investigate, in infants born preterm with or without bronchopulmonary
dysplasia (BPD), the trajectory of tidal breathing flow-volume (TBFV) parameters in the first 2 …

Early life environmental risk factors are associated with chronic respiratory morbidity in child-
and adulthood. A possible mechanism for this sustained effect is their influence on early life …

Objective To test whether low variability of tidal volume (VT) and capnographic indices are
predictive of subsequent respiratory morbidity in preterm infants. Study design In a birth …

Background The developing lung is highly susceptible to environmental toxicants, with both
short-and long-term exposure to ambient air pollutants linked to early childhood effects. This …

Rationale: The relationship between respiratory function at hospital discharge and the
severity of later respiratory disease in extremely low gestational age neonates is not well …
