Long-term outcomes of infants with severe BPD

Copyright © 2024 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved..

Preterm birth disrupts the normal sequence of lung development. Additionally, interventions that support gas exchange, including positive pressure ventilation and supplemental oxygen can further exacerbate lung injury, increasing the risk of developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in infants born preterm. Approximately 50,000 preterm infants each year in the United States develop BPD. Heterogeneous lung pathology involving the upper and lower respiratory tract can contribute to the BPD phenotype and can be age-dependent. These phenotypes include alveolar, upper airway, large airways, small airways, and vascular. Each of these phenotypes may improve, resolve, or persist at different ages, throughout childhood. The development of BPD endotypes can be influenced by gestational age and length and type of respiratory support. Although, long-term pulmonary outcomes of infants with severe BPD are variable, the presence of small airway disease is a common phenotype in school age and adolescent children. In this review we examine the more common respiratory endotypes found in infants and children with severe BPD and discuss the long-term prognosis for cardiovascular, neurological, and gastrointestinal morbidities in this patient population.
