Multimodal longitudinal respiratory function assessment in very low birth weight 7-year-old children
2021, Advances in Medical SciencesCitation Excerpt :A follow-up of the EPICure study [23] at 11 years, showed FEV1 and FVC z-score reductions of −1.7 and −0.8, respectively, among children with BPD; however, the cohort comprised only ELBW children who were more premature than those in our study. These results, together with those reported in other follow-up studies [13,24–31], and our current report highlight the persistent nature of pulmonary function limitations resulting from perinatal insults in children with BPD. However, because of technical challenges related to performing spirometry, we were obliged to reject a substantial percentage of the test results.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia: The earliest and perhaps the longest lasting obstructive lung disease in humans
2013, Early Human DevelopmentCitation Excerpt :Preterm children show a significant airflow limitation during the first years of life, with reduced flows [19], and there is even the chance of their lung function deteriorating in their first year of life [20]. Although some authors report an improvement in airway obstruction during childhood [21], lung function of BPD subjects seems tracking over time with a negligible catch-up of the spirometric parameters. Longitudinal studies following up premature-born subjects into adolescence and early adulthood demonstrate that BPD subjects have a persistently reduced lung function [22–24], with no significant change in the parameters reflecting airflow limitation, and with a trend towards a progressive deterioration in the lung function of those who had a more severe airflow obstruction during infancy as they grow older [23].
General and respiratory health outcomes in adult survivors of bronchopulmonary dysplasia: A systematic review
2012, ChestCitation Excerpt :Preterm infants and those with BPD have impaired lung function that persists to school age7 and through to adolescence.32 It is uncertain if lung function impairment extends into adulthood or whether “catch up” lung growth occurs.33 The majority of studies (n = 13) in this systematic review reported pulmonary function outcomes of adult survivors of BPD.
Hyperventilation during exercise in very low birth weight school-age children may implicate inspiratory muscle weakness
2012, Journal of PediatricsCitation Excerpt :However, we recently reported that BPD in a similar population of VLBW children born in our center was associated with higher respiratory resistance, lower compliance, and lower forced vital capacity at the age of 9 months.21 There are very few longitudinal studies on the respiratory outcome of VLBW children, but some also indicate an improvement in lung function with increasing age.22,23 Consistent with earlier studies, we found that exercise performance, as evaluated with VO2 max per kg and the maximal power expressed in percentage of the predicted maximal power, were not significantly different between VLBW children and control children.7
