Summary
This Turkish Neonatal Society guideline summarises evidence-based recommendations for the prevention and treatment of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in very-low-birth-weight preterm infants. It notes that BPD incidence has changed little despite improved survival and remains the leading cause of chronic respiratory morbidity in small preterms. Pharmacological options discussed include postnatal very-low-dose corticosteroids, caffeine and vitamin A, with stem cell therapy highlighted as a promising future approach.
