Risk factors for severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia in a Chinese cohort of very preterm infants.
To examine the risk factors for severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in a cohort of very preterm infants (VPIs) in China, as BPD is common among VPIs and associated with a high mortality rate. ⋯ Our study not only reaffirmed the established risk factors of low GA and BW for sBPD in VPIs, but also identified additional, potentially modifiable risk factors. Further research is warranted to explore whether intervention in these modifiable factors might reduce the risk of sBPD.Clinical Trial Reg. No.: ChiCTR1900023418.
