Observational study finds elevated driving pressure linked to adverse outcomes in neonates, suggesting improved risk assessment could help.
Elevated DP is an independent, modifiable risk factor for adverse outcomes-particularly BPD-in mechanically ventilated neonates. The effect is most pronounced in very preterm infants. Routine DP monitoring combined with clinical scoring (e.g., CRIB II) may improve early risk stratification and facilitate individualized lung-protective ventilation.
