Impact of changes in perinatal care on bronchopulmonary dysplasia: an overview ...
Azevedo, A; Flor-de-Lima, F; Rocha, G; Gustavo, R; Rodrigues, C; Guimarães, HObjective: To compare the clinical approach and outcomes of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) patients in the last two decades (1996-2005 vs 2006-2015) in a neonatal intensive care unit. Methods: Out of 1,196 admissions of very low birth weight and/or less than 32 weeks of gestational age infants, 96 had BPD and were dichotomized into two groups according to the year of birth (1996-2005 and 2006-2015). Their cli...
