Unlabelled: Preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) are at increased risk of disruptions in their quality of life (QoL) at school age, often associated with respiratory morbidity and the need for ongoing hospital care. The objective of this study is to assess the impact of BPD on the perceived quality of life in preterm infants at school age. We conducted a prospective observational study of infants born at less than 32 weeks gestation who were admitted to our neonatal unit between January 2012 and December 2014.

Article Synopsis
  • Patients with sickle cell disease show varying pulmonary function test results, but the significance of the fractional exhaled nitric oxide (FeNO) test in these patients is not well understood.
  • A study conducted on 43 patients aged 6-18 years indicated no significant links between elevated FeNO levels and asthma diagnosis, spirometry patterns, or symptoms typically associated with asthma.
  • However, a notable association was found between elevated FeNO levels and peripheral eosinophilia, suggesting that airway inflammation mechanisms may differ for patients with sickle cell disease.

Background: Preterm infants, particularly those with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), are at risk of lung development problems. Over the last decades, lung protective strategies have been used, decreasing the risk of chronic lung disease.

Objective: To evaluate the pulmonary function test (PFT) of preterm infants born after the introduction of lung protective strategies and to assess perinatal determinants of impaired lung function in this population.
