Bronchopulmonary dysplasia outcome estimator in current neonatal practice

Abstract

This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved. Predicting an infant's risk of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is challenging, particularly during the first weeks after birth. However, strategies to prevent BPD may have most benefit if delivered during this period. A tool assessing BPD risk would prove valuable to clinicians and researchers - aiding clinical decisions and developing eligibility criteria to evaluate preventative BPD therapies.
