Abstract

Advances in perinatal care have dramatically improved the outcome of preterm infants over the last few decades. Incidence of Bronchopulmonary Disease (BPD) has remained largely unchanged if not slightly increased over this time period, likely due to the increased survival of extremely preterm infants. BPD is a multifactorial disorder and infants frequently undergo treatment with various pharmacological agents, many of which lack efficacy in studies to date. BPD is an independent risk factor for neurodevelopmental delay and cerebral palsy (CP) in children. Therefore, the presence of CP needs to be considered when treating patients with BPD.
