Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common chronic complication associated with extremely preterm birth. Although BPD is now an uncommon condition in infants born with birthweights higher than 1,500 g, among infants born at or near the current limits of viability, BPD rates have not improved over the past 2 to 3 decades and may be increasing. No single therapeutic intervention is effective at preventing BPD. As such, clinicians must use multiple evidence-based strategies to help reduce BPD rates. This review examines current evidence-based approaches to BPD prevention, primarily focusing on data obtained from randomized controlled trials.
