However, surfactant deficiency is not the unique pathobiological feature, as there may be relevant lung inflammation, such as in certain cases of clinical chorioamnionitis (CC). We aim to investigate if CC influences LUS and ultrasound‐guided surfactant treatment.DesignRetrospective (2017–2022), large, cohort study targeted to recruit a homogeneous p… Show more
