Abstract
Brochopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common form of chronic lung disease in infancy. At present, BPD primarily occurs in extremely premature infants (23-28 weeks of gestation) born during the late canalicular/early saccular stage of lung development. This article summarizes the current knowledge of the life course of BPD by emphasizing recent or key articles notating its natural history from the newborn period through adulthood and building the case for a continued focus on its primary prevention.Entities:
