More than 1 in 10 babies are born prematurely and most of them are born after gestational age 32 weeks. Mortality and morbidity are more common in these moderate-to-late preterm infants than in full-term children. In this review, mechanisms and epidemiology of long-term airway morbidity in moderate-to-late preterm infants will be discussed. We discuss the potential of viral respiratory infections to further aggravate abnormal lung function associated with preterm birth.
超过十分之一的婴儿早产，其中大多数婴儿在妊娠 32 周后出生。这些中度至晚期早产儿的死亡率和发病率比足月儿童更高。在这篇综述中，我们将讨论中度至晚期早产儿长期气道发病率的发病机制和流行病学。我们还讨论了病毒呼吸道感染可能进一步加重与早产相关的异常肺功能。
