Forty-four oxygen-dependent infants were discharged home in oxygen from an NICU during an 8-year period. Survivors were followed for 3 years. The infants' discharge diagnoses were bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (39), sleep apnea (2), and congenital cardiac defects (3). The five infants who had diagnoses other than BPD all died, but 34 of 39 infants with BPD survived. Supplemental oxygen was discontinued at a mean age of 13.4 months. The infants with BPD experienced health, growth, nutritional, neurodevelopmental and sensory problems that necessitated frequent rehospitalizations and utilization of a variety of medical and support services.
在8年期间，44名依赖氧气的婴儿从新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）带着氧气出院回家。对幸存者进行了3年的随访。这些婴儿的出院诊断为支气管肺发育不良（BPD）（39例）、睡眠呼吸暂停（2例）和先天性心脏缺陷（3例）。除BPD外有其他诊断的5名婴儿均死亡，但39例BPD婴儿中有34例存活。补充氧气在平均13.4个月龄时停用。患有BPD的婴儿出现了健康、生长、营养、神经发育和感官问题，需要频繁再次住院并使用各种医疗和支持服务。
