Effects of bradycardia, hypoxemia and early intubation on bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very preterm infants: An observational study

In 2020, approximately 13.4 million infants were born prematurely, representing a rate of more than 1 in 10 infants.1 Although the global birth rate declined to 17.668 ‰ in 2022,2 preterm birth rates have not changed over the past decade. Because of their immaturity, preterm infants’ survival depends on advanced neonatal intensive care, which can maintain these infants under stable conditions, providing for their continuous growth and development. Preterm infa nts may face lifelong health consequences and have a higher likelihood of disability and morbidity.
