Article Synopsis
- The lung ultrasound score (LUS) can help predict moderate-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (msBPD) in preterm infants, and this study aimed to understand how LUS changes over time based on gestational age.
- A multicenter study analyzed 339 preterm infants, categorizing them into two gestational age groups (23-27 weeks and 28-32 weeks) and tracking their LUS evolution up to 36 weeks postmenstrual age.
- Results showed that infants in the earlier group had a steady increase in LUS initially, followed by a decrease, while the later group experienced a continuous decrease, with significant differences noted based on the need for surfactant and diagnosis of msBPD.
