The Impact of Late Onset Arterial Hypotension on Respiratory Outcome in Extremely Premature Infants.

CONCLUSIONS: In this cohort of extremely premature infants, LOH was associated with an increased the risk for BPD. This association could be secondary to underlying factors that predispose to LOH and BPD or to the deleterious effects of LOH or its treatments on the lung. Further investigation is needed to assess causality. PMID: 30485857 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
