Respiratory symptoms in preterm infants: burden of disease in the first year of life
OBJECTIVE While respiratory symptoms in the first year of life are relatively well described for term infants, data for preterm infants are scarce. We aimed to describe the burden of respiratory disease in a group of preterm infants with and without bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) and to assess the association of respiratory symptoms with perinatal, genetic and environmental risk factors. ME...
متن کاملRespiratory syncytial virus and recurrent wheeze in healthy preterm infants.
BACKGROUND Respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) infection is associated with subsequent recurrent wheeze. Observational studies cannot determine whether RSV infection is the cause of recurrent wheeze or the first indication of preexistent pulmonary vulnerability in preterm infants. The monoclonal antibody palivizumab has shown efficacy in preventing severe RSV infection in high-risk infants. MET...
متن کاملRecurrent wheezing in very preterm infants.
AIMS To document the prevalence of, and identify risk factors for, recurrent wheezing treated with bronchodilators in the first year of life. METHODS Parental history and neonatal data were collected prospectively in a regional cohort of very preterm infants (< 33 weeks). Data on maternal smoking, siblings at home, breast feeding, respiratory symptoms, and hospital re-admissions were document...
متن کاملCan infant lung function predict respiratory morbidity during the first year of life in preterm infants?
Compared with term-born infants, preterm infants have increased respiratory morbidity in the first year of life. We investigated whether lung function tests performed near term predict subsequent respiratory morbidity during the first year of life and compared this to standard clinical parameters in preterms. The prospective birth cohort included randomly selected preterm infants with and witho...
متن کاملRandomised trial of inhaled steroids in preterm infants with respiratory symptoms at follow up.
BACKGROUND Preterm infants often suffer from recurrent respiratory symptoms at follow up. Although these infants are responsive to treatment with bronchodilators some continue to wheeze or cough despite treatment. In a randomised double blind placebo controlled trial, the ability of inhaled steroids to reduce recurrent respiratory symptoms and the requirement for bronchodilator treatment in pre...
