Obstructive lung disease in children with mild to severe BPD

Abstract

Children with mild BPD exhibited similar impairments in respiratory mechanics and lung structure to those diagnosed with moderate BPD. The widespread involvement of the peripheral airways suggests that all children diagnosed with BPD are potentially at risk of developing chronic obstructive pulmonary disease later in life.

Lung Function at 8 and 16 Years After Moderate-to-Late Preterm Birth: A Prospective Cohort Study

“…Associations between preterm birth and lung function measured by using IOS, although not gender specific, have previously been reported in follow-up studies on bronchopulmonary dysplasia after very preterm or extremely preterm birth. 18,32,33 To our knowledge, no other studies have used IOS or methods other than spirometry to characterize lung function after moderate to late preterm birth.…”

Impacto Da Displasia Broncopulmonar Na Musculatura Respiratória Acessória De Lactentes.

“…É importante ressaltar que mesmo com o aumento da sobrevida de lactentes e adultos que receberam diagnóstico de DBP na fase neonatal [9], e com a plasticidade e adaptação da fibra muscular respiratória [21], ainda há repercussões desta doença ao longo de toda vida [7,23].…”

“…De acordo com Broström et al [9], todos os lactentes com DBP, independente da sua gravidade, devem ser acompanhados clinicamente até a fase adulta. Até os dois anos de idade é possível realizar prova de função pulmonar, mas com testes de alto custo, de manuseio complexo e dificuldade de cooperação por parte do lactente [8,10].…”

Lung Diseases - Selected State of the Art Reviews

“…Often noted are: 1) increased risk of postneonatal mortality (Van Marter, 2009), 2) higher rates of rehospitalization (Jeng et al, 2008), 3) longterm pulmonary impairments (Broström et al, 2010) such as asthma (Baraldi et al, 2009) and emphysema (Wong et al, 2008), 4) failure to thrive (Theile et al, 2011), and 5) cognitive impairment (Anderson & Doyle, 2006), cerebral palsy (Koo KY et al 2010;Majnemer et al, 2000), and global neurodevelopmental deficits (Short EJ et al, 2003).…”
