Summary:The definitions of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), the lung injury that results from high oxygen exposure and mechanical ventilation of preterm infants, which was first described over 50 years ago by Northway and colleagues (1), have evolved to include very premature infants and changing care strategies (2). The aggregate of primarily nonpulmonary perinatal associations of male sex, intrauterine growth restriction, maternal smoking, race/ethnicity, intubation at birth, and public insurance was equivalent to BPD for the prediction of 1-year respiratory outcomes. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia and perinatal characteristics predict 1-year respiratory outcomes in newborns born at extremely low gestational age: a prospective cohort study.
