Background Advances in perinatal care have markedly increased the prospects of survival
for infants born extremely preterm (EP). The aim of this study was to investigate …

Aim This study investigated respiratory morbidity and risk factors during the first five years of
life after extremely preterm birth. Methods Paediatric assessments and parental …

Rationale: Pulmonary outcomes of moderate-preterm children (MP) are unknown.
Objectives: To investigate the prevalence of respiratory symptoms during infancy and at …

Rationale: The long-term respiratory sequelae of infants born extremely preterm (EP) and
now graduating from neonatal intensive care remains uncertain. Objectives: To assess the …

Rationale The respiratory outcomes for adult survivors of preterm birth in the postsurfactant
era are wide-ranging with prognostic factors, especially those encountered after the …

Rationale: Increasing survival at extremely low gestational ages is associated with very high
rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) but is rarely quantified. Objectives: To identify …

Objective Compare respiratory health in children born extremely preterm (EP) or with
extremely low birthweight (ELBW) nearly one decade apart, hypothesizing that better …

Respiratory morbidity, recurrent cough and/or wheeze and lung function abnormalities are
common even outside infancy in preschool children born prematurely. Throughout the first 5 …

Aims: The pulmonary outcome of extreme prematurity remains to be established in adults.
We determined respiratory health and lung function status in a population‐based, complete …

BACKGROUND. Pulmonary disease among infants of< 28 weeks' gestation (extremely low
gestational age newborns) often has the following pattern: the infant starts out with little need …
