Abstract:
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a severe complication of preterm birth,especially in those with very low birth weight or extremely low birth weight.The incidence of BPD increased with more survival of very preterm infants.Neonates with BPD are more oxygen-dependent and require prolonged mechanical ventilation.Respiratory and neurological outcomes in the childhood and even early adulthood,including pulmonary symptoms,re-admittance rate,pulmonary hypertension and dysfunction,will be adversely influenced.Meanwhile,BPD patients will develop more problems in cognition,education and behavior.
