Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To determine whether chronic oxygen dependency at the time of discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) predicts respiratory outcomes at 3 years. STUDY DESIGN: Preterm infants ⩽1250 g without BPD, BPD and BPD with chronic oxygen dependency were identified from the Southern Alberta Perinatal Follow-up clinic database (1995-2007). Respiratory outcomes at 4, 8, 18 and 36 months corrected age following NICU discharge were examined. Univariate analyses were done. RESULTS: Out of 1563 infants admitted to the NICU, 1212 survived. Complete follow-up data at 36 months were available for 1030 (85%) children. Children with BPD with or without chronic oxygen dependency had significantly (P<0.001) lower birth weights and gestational ages, and greater post-natal steroid use, compared with those with no BPD. At 4, 8 and 18 months follow-up, the use of respiratory medications and supplemental oxygen were both significantly higher in the BPD infants with chronic oxygen dependency group compared with the no-BPD group and BPD group. At 36 months, children in the BPD with chronic oxygen dependency group were more likely to use respiratory medications and supplemental oxygen vs the no-BPD or the BPD groups. At 4, 8 and 36 months of age, more children in the BPD with chronic oxygen dependency group had post-neonatal chronic lung disease (PNCLD) than children in the other groups, but at 36 months the difference was significant only for the BPD with chronic oxygen dependency vs no-BPD group (P<0.001). CONCLUSIONS: At 36 months, children diagnosed with BPD with chronic oxygen dependency at NICU discharge were more likely to need respiratory medications and supplemental oxygen in the previous 12 months, as compared with no-BPD or BPD groups. They were also more likely to require frequent physician visits and have PNCLD at 3 years, as compared with the no-BPD group.
