Clinical utility of echocardiography in bronchopulmonary dysplasia: a retrospective cohort study.

Key Points

To evaluate the clinical utility of echocardiography in identifying bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants.
Retrospective cohort study of preterm infants
Comparison of echocardiographic parameters between BPD and non-BPD infants
Assessment of biventricular systolic and diastolic dysfunction.
Significant differences in echocardiographic parameters between BPD and non-BPD preterm infants
Potential for using echocardiography in identifying at-risk infants for BPD.

Abstract

Echocardiographic parameters reflecting biventricular systolic/diastolic dysfunction differ significantly between BPD and non-BPD preterm infants, indicating potential for BPD identification.
