Fetal Growth Restriction Is Worse than Extreme Prematurity for the Developing Lung

Background: Perinatal lung growth is highly vulnerable to inflammation and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), two major risk factors for chronic lung disease (CLD) in preterm neonates. However, the balance between extremely low gestational age (ELGA) and IUGR in very preterm infants as risk fac...

Zusammenfassung:Background: Perinatal lung growth is highly vulnerable to inflammation and intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR), two major risk factors for chronic lung disease (CLD) in preterm neonates. However, the balance between extremely low gestational age (ELGA) and IUGR in very preterm infants as risk factors for CLD and co-morbidities remains poorly explored. Objectives: This single-center study aims to compare neonatal morbidity (including CLD) and mortality among ELGA infants with normal birth weight (ELGA-AGA), very preterm infants with IUGR
