Respiratory distress is recognised as any signs of breathing difficulties in neonates. In the
early neonatal period respiratory distress is common, occurring in up to 7% of newborn …

Background Increasing evidence suggests that preterm birth affects later lung function. We
systematically reviewed the literature to determine whether percentage predicted forced …

Background: Previous meta-analyses have reported a significant association between
pulmonary colonization with Ureaplasma and development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia …

Background Rates of preterm birth have increased in most industrialised countries but data
on later lung function of late preterm births are limited. A study was undertaken to compare …

Rationale: Few studies have investigated childhood respiratory outcomes of intrauterine
growth retardation (IUGR), and it is unclear if catch-up growth in these children influences …

Background Low birthweight (LBW) is associated with increased mortality in infancy, but its
association with mortality in later childhood and adolescence is less clear. We investigated …

In recent years, the rate of preterm births has risen in many industrialised countries with late
preterm births forming a substantial proportion of the preterm births. Late preterm infants are …

Background Preterm‐born survivors have increased respiratory symptoms and decreased
lung function, but the nature of bronchial hyper‐responsiveness (BHR) is unclear. We …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: High-flow therapy is the most recent, and popular, mode
of respiratory support in neonates. However, the evidence supporting its efficacy and safety …

Background Although bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is associated with lung function
deficits in childhood, many who develop BPD have normal lung function in childhood and …
