Characteristics and outcome of infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia established on long‐term ventilation from neonatal intensive care

Introduction Ex‐preterm infants with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) sometimes require long‐term ventilation (LTV) to facilitate weaning from respiratory support.

We aim to describe the background characteristics, neonatal comorbidities, characteristics at the initiation of ventilation, and outcomes of neonatal unit graduates with BPD established on LTV.
