Aim: This study aimed to address the critical need for more accurate growth reference charts for preterm infants, with a particular focus on low- and very low-birth-weight infants.
Methods: The subjects were recruited at a single tertiary centre. The cohort comprised singleton and twin infants born before 37 weeks of gestation, with data collected from 2000 to 2016.
Background: The long-term respiratory consequences for children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are well known. However, there is little emphasis on monitoring preterm infants without BPD. Few studies have explored the lung function status of infants with the symptoms of chronic lung disease of prematurity (CLD).

Methods: This was a national Czech multicentre study of paediatric post-COVID syndrome, which used a standard protocol to evaluate structural and functional anomalies and exclude alternative diagnoses. From 6 January to 30 June 2021, 11 paediatric pulmonologists enrolled all paediatric referrals aged 2-18 years with persistent respiratory symptoms more than 12 weeks after COVID-19, namely cough, dyspnoea and chest pain.
Background: There is no strict correlation between early bronchopulmonary dysplasia and long-term respiratory disease. Early inhaled corticosteroids seem to reduce the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, but the long-term outcome remains unknown.
Research Question: The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of early inhaled corticosteroids on chronic respiratory morbidity.
