Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), the commonest complication of prematurity, is defined by treatment with oxygen for ≥28 days. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) often coexists with BPD and is associated with increased mortality. In 42 autopsies, histological changes of BPD and PH were demonstrated in 25 % and 65 % respectively of preterm infants <28 days of age, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and treatment.
支气管肺发育不良(BPD)是早产儿最常见的并发症,其定义为需要接受氧气治疗≥28 天。肺动脉高压(PH)常与 BPD 并存,并与死亡率增加有关。在 42 例早产儿尸检中,分别有 25%和 65%的患儿在<28 天龄时出现 BPD 和 PH 的组织学改变,这突出表明需要早期诊断和治疗。
