Risk factors for chronic lung disease in infants with birth weights of 751 to 1000 grams

We performed a multicenter, historical-cohort analysis to identify factors associated with chronic lung disease (CLD) in extremely low birth weight infants. The 235 infants who were born in 1984 with birth weights of 751 to 1000 gm and admitted to any of 10 participating neonatal intensive care unit...

Zusammenfassung:We performed a multicenter, historical-cohort analysis to identify factors associated with chronic lung disease (CLD) in extremely low birth weight infants. The 235 infants who were born in 1984 with birth weights of 751 to 1000 gm and admitted to any of 10 participating neonatal intensive care units comprised the study population. We analyzed demographic characteristics, status at birth, severity of acute atelectasis, and early respiratory treatment in relation to CLD, which we defined as having received oxygen at age 30 days. By univariate analysis, CLD was associated with lower gestational age ( p
