“…Many of them try to answer the question of whether the BPD and/or preterm birth are risk factors for asthma 411 , 21 , 26 As found in the present study, other authors have observed a higher prevalence of asthma in VLBW infants when compared with the prevalence of asthma in the world population,7 , 11 , 19 , 22 , 27 with values for extremely premature infants ranging between 26%5 , 19 , 27 and 40% 22…”

“…Poor exercise performance with impaired ventilatory adaptation and reduced gas transfer have been reported [16,37]. Other authors have demonstrated impaired cardioventilatory performance during exercise even in asymptomatic individuals [16] or in apparently asymptomatic BPD survivors who became desaturated when exercising [8,38]. These findings have prompted researchers to consider exercise capacity in this population more carefully, and to examine whether anything could be done to improve this.…”

“…There is a paucity of literature on the respiratory health of adults with a history of BPD, and most publications refer to cases of ‘classical BPD' in patients studied in their twenties, who have been found to experience more respiratory symptoms (e.g. shortness of breath) and hospital admissions for respiratory problems than healthy controls [8]. …”

Chronic Lung Disease of Prematurity: Long-Term Respiratory Outcome

et al. 2014

Chronic respiratory morbidity is a common adverse outcome of preterm birth, especially in infants who develop bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which is still a major cause of long-term lung dysfunction with a heavy burden on health care services and medical resources throughout childhood. The most severely affected patients remain symptomatic even in adulthood, and this may be influenced also by environmental variables (e.g. smoking), which can contribute to persistent obstruction of airflow. Of all obstructive lung diseases in humans, BPD has the earliest onset and probably lasts the longest. Since the prevention of BPD is an elusive goal, minimizing neonatal lung injury and closely monitoring survivors remain the best courses of action. This review describes the clinical and functional changes characteristic of the long-term pulmonary sequelae of preterm birth, focusing particularly on BPD.

“…The diagnosis of BPD increases the risk of long-term pulmonary morbidity, as well as cognitive, behavioral and social problems (1–4). Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of neonatal respiratory diseases including BPD, and recent studies have increased awareness that PH worsens the clinical course, morbidity and mortality of BPD.…”

Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a common complication of neonatal respiratory diseases including bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), and recent studies have increased awareness that PH worsens the clinical course, morbidity and mortality of BPD. Recent evidence indicates that up to 18% of all extremely low birth weight infants will develop some degree of PH during their hospitalization, and the incidence rises to 25–40% of infants with established BPD. Risk factors are not yet well understood, but new evidence shows that fetal growth restriction is a significant predictor of PH. Echocardiography remains the primary method for evaluation for BPD-associated PH, and the development of standardized screening timelines and techniques for identification of infants with BPD-associated PH remains an important ongoing topic of investigation. The use of pulmonary vasodilator medications such as nitric oxide, sildenafil, and others in the BPD population is steadily growing, but additional studies are needed regarding their long-term safety and efficacy.
