        Preterm lung disease: not just for neonatologists

        Improvements in neonatal critical care have resulted in more people than ever reaching adulthood after being born prematurely. At the same time, it is becoming clearer that preterm birth can increase the risk of respiratory disease throughout a person’s lifetime. Awareness that a patient was born preterm can enable early specialist assessment and intervention when there is any concern about lung health.  ...

        Persistent and progressive long-term lung disease in survivors of preterm birth

        This review aims to summarise what is known about the long-term pulmonary outcomes of contemporary preterm birth ...

        ABCA3 lung disease in an ex 27 week preterm infant responsive to systemic glucocorticosteroids

        This is a case of ABCA3 lung disease that demonstrated improvement after systemic glucocorticosteroid administration ...

        Unravelling the respiratory health path across the lifespan for survivors of preterm birth

        Many survivors of preterm birth will have abnormal lung development, reduced peak lung function and, potentially, an increased rate of physiological lung function decline, each of which places them at increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease across the lifespan.  ...

        Preterm birth and exercise capacity: what do we currently know?

        The long-term cardiopulmonary outcomes following preterm birth during the surfactant era remain unclear. Respiratory symptoms, particularly exertional symptoms, are common in preterm children. Therefore, cardiopulmonary exercise testing may provide insights into the pathophysiology driving exertional respiratory symptoms in those born preterm. This review aims to outline the current knowledge of cardiopulmonary exercise testing in the assessment of children born preterm in the surfactant era. ...

        Geographical Differences and Temporal Improvements in Forced Expiratory Volume in 1 Second of Preterm-Born Children: A Systematic Review and Meta-analysis

        Although preterm birth is associated with later deficits in lung function, there is a paucity of information on geographical differences and whether improvements occur over time, especially after surfactant was introduced. ...

        Increasing airway obstruction through life following bronchopulmonary dysplasia: a meta-analysis

        Few studies exist investigating lung function trajectories of those born preterm; however growing evidence suggests some individuals experience increasing airway obstruction throughout life. Here we use the studies identified in a recent systematic review to provide the first meta-analysis investigating the impact of preterm birth on airway obstruction measured by the forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) to forced vital capacity (FVC) ratio. ...

        Altered lung structure and function in mid-childhood survivors of very preterm birth

        Lung abnormalities do not influence aerobic capacity in school children born preterm

        Children born preterm have impaired lung function and altered lung structure. However, there are conflicting reports on how preterm birth impacts aerobic exercise capacity in childhood. We aimed to investigate how neonatal history and a diagnosis of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) impact the relationship between function and structure of the lung, and aerobic capacity in school-aged children born very preterm. ...

        Preterm Paediatric Inhaled Corticosteroids Intervention (PICSI)

        Understanding if ongoing inflammation in the lungs contributes to the poor lung health experienced by some children who were born preterm. ...
