Association between bronchopulmonary dysplasia and death or neurodevelopmental impairment at 3 years in preterm infants without severe brain injury.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

We investigated the association between bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and 3 years death or neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) in very preterm infants without severe brain injury.

Method

Our prospective cohort study recruited preterm infants who were born prior to 32 weeks of gestational age and survived in the neonatal intensive care unit until 36 weeks of corrected age. Upon reaching 3 years of age, each infant was assessed for death or NDI such as cerebral palsy, cognitive deficit, hearing loss, and blindness. Correlations between BPD and death or NDI were determined using multiple logistic regression analyses adjusted for confounding factors.

Result

A total of 1,417 infants without severe brain injury who survived until 36 weeks of corrected age were
