Bronchopulmonary dysplasia and diuretic use in an outpatient setting.

Introduction: During Neonatal Intensive Care Unit hospitalization, children born preterm with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are frequently prescribed diuretics for chronic respiratory symptoms. However, less is known about diuretic use and weaning in an outpatient setting. The study sought to characterize clinical features associated with outpatient diuretic use and timing of diuretic weaning in children with BPD.

Reproductive Counseling and Care in Cystic Fibrosis: A Multidisciplinary Approach for a New Therapeutic Era.

With the advent of highly effective modulator therapies, many people with cystic fibrosis (CF) are living longer, healthier lives. Pregnancy rates for women with CF more than doubled between 2019 and 2021, reflecting increases in both planned and unplanned pregnancies. For men with CF, CF-associated infertility can be mitigated with assistive reproductive technology, yet patient knowledge of these challenges and options is variable.

Successful treatment of radiation-induced vaginal soft tissue radionecrosis with HBO2.

Introduction: Radiation therapy to the pelvis can result in radiation-induced vaginal soft tissue necrosis. This significantly impacts quality of life. Studies evaluating the efficacy of HBO2 are limited.

Outpatient respiratory outcomes in children with BPD on supplemental oxygen.

Introduction: Preterm children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) frequently require supplemental oxygen in the outpatient setting. In this study, we sought to determine patient characteristics and demographics associated with need for supplemental oxygen at initial hospital discharge, timing to supplemental oxygen liberation, and associations between level of supplemental oxygen and likelihood of respiratory symptoms and acute care usage in the outpatient setting.

Methods: A retrospective analysis of subjects with BPD on supplemental oxygen (O ) was performed.
