Structural Pulmonary Abnormalities Still Evident in Schoolchildren with New Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Abstract

Structural lung abnormalities are common among schoolchildren with a history of new BPD, resembling abnormalities described in the presurfactant era. HRCT abnormalities are associated with the duration of early mechanical ventilation and the severity of BPD and they are correlated with spirometry.
