Characterising airway obstructive, dysanaptic and PRISm phenotypes of prematurity-associated lung disease.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

Although obstructive airway disease has been shown to be associated with prematurity, other spirometry phenotypes are less well described.

Objectives

We characterised abnormal spirometry phenotypes in preterm-born children, including prematurity-associated obstructive lung disease (POLD, forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV₁)1/forced vital capacity (FVC)11/FVC≥LLN) and prematurity-associated dysanapsis (pDysanapsis, FEV₁≥LLN, FEV₁/FVCNO).
