The value of hematocrit for predicting bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very low birth weight preterm infants.

ABSTRACT: To determine hematocrit (HCT) and to identify independent risk factors for predicting bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in preterm infants with very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. This retrospective study included 296 premature infants with VLBW in the neonatal intensive care unit of the First Affiliated Hospital of the University of Science and Technology of China between January 2015 and December 2019. Maternal pregnant information and clinical information as well as hematological parameters of preterm babies were collected and compared. Then the maximum area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic curve was developed to estimate the predictive indicator in the blood. Finally, differential variables together with the predictive index were screened for multiple logistic regr
