BRONCHOPULMONARY DYSPLASIA

This study looked at whether adding a cream supplement made from human milk to the diet of extremely premature infants (weighing 500-1250 grams) could shorten their hospital stay. 210 babies were randomly assigned to receive either standard human milk or human milk with extra cre…

This study tested whether taking smaller blood samples from extremely preterm babies (born before 27 weeks) could reduce serious health problems like lung disease. The approach aimed to preserve the babies' own blood cells and components. The trial enrolled 201 infants across mul…

This early-stage trial tested a new drug called rfhSP-D in 18 very premature babies (born before 30 weeks) to find the safest dose. The goal is to see if this drug can prevent chronic lung disease, a common complication in preemies. The study focused on safety and dosing, not yet…

This study looked at whether sildenafil is safe for premature babies born before 29 weeks who are at risk for bronchopulmonary dysplasia, a chronic lung disease. 109 infants on breathing support received the drug to see if it could help their lungs develop. The main goal was to c…

This study tested a safe, non-invasive lung imaging method called Electrical Impedance Tomography (EIT) in 20 very preterm infants. Researchers wanted to see if EIT measurements could predict which babies would successfully stop breathing support by 32-33 weeks. The goal is to de…

This study looked at how indoor air quality affects breathing problems in 165 school-aged children (6-12 years old) who were born very early and have bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease. Researchers measured air in the children's homes and tracked their breat…

This study followed 355 teenagers who were born very small (under 3.3 pounds) in 1997. Researchers measured their lung function and breathing symptoms to see how their early birth affected their lungs at age 14-15. The goal was to understand long-term respiratory health, not to t…

This study looked at 322 premature babies born before 32 weeks to compare different ways of diagnosing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a common lung disease. The goal was to see if a new classification system that separates types of breathing support could better predict long-t…

This study looked at 70 premature babies in the NICU to see if levels of certain proteins (neurotrophins) in their blood could predict later breathing problems and developmental delays. Researchers measured these proteins over time and checked how the babies' lungs and brains dev…

This study looked at a new method to figure out if diuretics (water pills) help individual premature babies with a chronic lung condition called bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The researchers used a special 'N-of-1' approach, where each baby was switched between the drug and a…

This study looked at how different chest physiotherapy methods and positions affect preterm newborns who need breathing support. Researchers measured heart rate, blood gases, and other vital signs in 60 babies. The goal was to find safer and more effective ways to help clear thei…

This study examined 33 preterm babies born before 30 weeks to mothers with preeclampsia, a pregnancy complication. Researchers measured certain proteins in the mother's blood, umbilical cord blood, and amniotic fluid to see if they were linked to a lung condition called bronchopu…
