Abstract

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung disease that predominantly affects premature infants who require mechanical ventilation and oxygen therapy. Advances in neonatal care have improved survival rates of these infants, yet BPD remains a significant cause of morbidity. This review aims to comprehensively analyze the long-term pulmonary outcomes in premature infants with BPD, examining both the pathophysiological mechanisms and the clinical implications. Through a synthesis of recent research, we will explore pulmonary function, respiratory symptoms, and overall health impacts into adulthood.
