Abstract:OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to explore the risk factors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants and the clinical application value of lung ultrasound in the diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia. METHODS: A total of 80 premature infants with a gestational age of <32 weeks or a birth weight of <1,500 g who were treated in our hospital from January to August 2021 were randomly divided into a bronchopulmonary dysplasia group (n=12) and a non-bronchopulmonary dysplasia group (n=62). The clinical data,… Show more
“…One of the presented studies was a meta-analysis [31], which showed the early LUS with a less extensive score has 70-80% sensitivity and 80-87% specificity in predicting BPD. Other studies, including prospective ones [32,33], confirmed this finding, even if a relatively low number of extremely preterm infants were enrolled; moreover, in these studies, LUS was more accurate than CXR for BPD prediction. Other studies confirmed the utility of LUS performed at 14 days of life in extremely preterm infants [35] and the role of lung consolidations detected in the first weeks of life for the prediction of BPD [36].…”

“…Xu et al [ 32 ] compared the predictive role of LUS and CXR in preterm infants. They conducted a study with 248 eligible infants, of which 80 were randomly enrolled and divided into a BPD group ( n = 12) and a non-BPD group ( n = 62); they showed that the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasound for bronchopulmonary dysplasia was better than that of X-rays (98.7% vs. 85.1%).…”
Background: Respiratory problems are frequent in newborns, and are mainly studied with chest X-rays, whereas CT scans are usually needed for the evaluation of rare malformations and diseases. Lung ultrasound (LUS] has been proposed as an alternative method of diagnosing a variety of respiratory conditions. In recent years, there has been a rapid increase in LUS studies, thanks to the ability of LUS to rapidly exclude complications and significantly reduce radiation exposure in this fragile population. We aimed to summarize the current knowledge about LUS. Methods: A literature search was conducted on the Medline and Cochrane databases using appropriate terms. The inclusion criteria were: English language and human species. Exclusion criteria were: non-English language, animal species, case reports, case series, non-systematic reviews, and editorials. Results: The search returned 360 results. No Cochrane reviews were found. Titles and abstracts were screened, and 37 were finally considered. Studies concerning the use of lung ultrasound for the following conditions were presented: neonatal respiratory distress syndrome, transient tachypnea of the newborn, pneumothorax, pulmonary hemorrhage, pneumonia, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and prediction of extubation success. Conclusions: We discussed the utility of LUS for the diagnosis and treatment of neonatal diseases according to the most recent literature.
