Summary

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 developed. The goal was to better understand how these proteins relate to health outcomes, not to test a new treatment.
