Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to investigate how neonatal respiratory support affects lung function in very low birth weight children with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) as they reach school age.
- Researchers reviewed data from 78 BPD children who had their lung function assessed at ages 8-9, finding that 31% exhibited abnormalities in lung function, correlated with the type of respiratory support they received.
- Key findings included that antenatal steroid use reduced the risk of lung function abnormalities, while needing positive-pressure support at 37 weeks of postmenstrual age was linked to a higher risk of abnormal lung function.
