Key points Respiratory distress is a common presenting feature among newborn infants.
Prompt investigation to ascertain the underlying diagnosis and appropriate subsequent …

Importance Decreases in future lung function are a hallmark of preterm birth, but studies for
management of decreased lung function are limited. Objective To determine whether 12 …

Background Although bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is associated with lung function
deficits in childhood, many who develop BPD have normal lung function in childhood and …

Introduction Although different phenotypes of lung disease after preterm birth have recently
been described, the underlying mechanisms associated with each phenotype are poorly …

Despite evidence demonstrating persistent lung function deficits in preterm-born children,
especially in those who had bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in infancy, the underlying …

Preterm-born children are at risk of long-term pulmonary deficits, including those who
developed bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in infancy, however the underlying mechanisms …

Rationale: Preterm birth is associated with low lung function in childhood, but little is known
about the lung microstructure in childhood. Objectives: We assessed the differential …

Introduction Although obstructive airway disease has been shown to be associated with
prematurity, other spirometry phenotypes are less well described. Objectives We characterised …

Introduction Preterm‐born children have their normal in‐utero lung development interrupted,
thus are at risk of short‐ and long‐term lung disease. Spirometry and exercise capacity …

Background Telomeres shorten after each cell division. Since preterm-born babies are
delivered early and often suffer from inflammatory conditions such as bronchopulmonary …
