[Bronchopulmonary dysplasia--a one-year material].
We report the results of a prospective study on the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants with gestational age less than or equal to 32 weeks who were treated at Rikshospitalet in 1989. Of a study population of 119 infants, 23 (19.3%) developed BPD. The incidence was 22.5% in the 112 infants who survived the neonatal period. BPD was found only in infants who had been treated with mechanical ventilation for respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). Pulmonary function studies at three days of age demonstrated no significant differences between infants who developed BPD and infants who had RDS only. However, at 12 days of age, no change in compliance and resistance were found in infants who developed BPD, while in infants who only had RDS these lung parameters had markedly improved during this period.
