CRIB Scores as a Tool for Assessing Risk for the Development of Pulmonary Hypertension in Extremely Preterm Infants with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Abstract

Severe BPD increases the risk for developing PH. Higher CRIB scores correlate with PH development in infants with BPD. We speculate that CRIB scores may allow for early categorization of preterm infants with a higher likelihood of developing PH.
