Abstract:
Despite survival of extremely preterm infants has increased over recent years,bronchopul-monary dysplasia( BPD) remains both a major cause of mortality and one of the most common complications with implications into adulthood on respiratory and neurologic health. Steroids have a clear beneficial effect on BPD,but there is much debate surrounding the use of corticosteroids on the prevention and treatment of BPD. Careful consideration of the available data along with the clinical characteristics of the individual infant is required before being introduced into therapy.
