- Diverse genetic respiratory disorders can lead to severe pulmonary hypertension (PH) in newborns, but there are still many unresolved questions about the best ways to diagnose and manage these conditions for better long-term results.
- A multidisciplinary team of pediatric specialists has come together to tackle the current challenges in clinical approaches and support for families of infants with developmental lung disease (DEVLD).
- The review discusses the clinical features of infants with DEVLD/DEVLD-PH, highlights decision-making complexities such as genetic testing and imaging, and stresses the need for teamwork, communication, and comprehensive counseling for families.
