Background Few studies exist investigating lung function trajectories of those born preterm;
however growing evidence suggests some individuals experience increasing airway …

Over the last few decades, there has been an ongoing debate over both the optimal feeding
mode for very premature neonates (VPN) as well as what their optimal growth should be …

Importance Although preterm birth is associated with later deficits in lung function, there is a
paucity of information on geographical differences and whether improvements occur over …

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common lung complication of prematurity.
Despite extensive research, our understanding of its pathophysiology remains limited, as …

Background In extremely premature infants, postnatal growth restriction (PNGR) is common
and increases the risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and pulmonary …

Objective Extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) among very preterm infants is related to
poor neurodevelopment, but lack of consensus on EUGR measurement constrains …

Background Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains the most common late morbidity of
preterm birth. Clinical care and research have largely focused on the pathogenesis and …

Birth occurring at≤ 32 weeks' gestation (“very preterm”) or at≤ 28 weeks' gestation
(“extremely preterm”) potentially poses considerable health problems for the neonate …

Postnatal growth failure, a common problem in very preterm neonates associated with
adverse neurodevelopmental outcome, has recently been shown not to be inevitable. There …

Background Immature lung development and respiratory morbidity place preterm-born
children at high risk of long-term pulmonary sequelae. This systematic review and meta …
