Neonatal intermittent hypoxemia events are associated with diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia at 36 weeks postmenstrual age.

CONCLUSIONS: BPD was associated with more frequent, longer, and less severe IH events in addition to increased oxygen and pressure exposure within the first 26 days of life. Early IH patterns may contribute to the development of BPD or aid in identification of neonates at high risk. PMID: 30538265 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
