Epidemiology and risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia in prematures infants born at or less than 32 weeks of gestation

CONCLUSIONS: Gestational age at birth, mechanical ventilation in the first days of life and nosocomial sepsis are early risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The analysis of simple and objective clinical data, allows us to select a group of patients at high risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in whom it could be justified to act more aggressively, and shows areas for improvement to prevent its development or reduce its severity.PMID:33814331 | DOI:10.1016/j.anpedi.2021.03.002
