Objective. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is now the leading cause of lung disease in
US infants. In a large regional cohort, we tested the hypothesis that despite innovations in
neonatal care, very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (< 1500 g) with BPD had poorer
developmental outcomes than nonaffected infants during the first 3 years of life, and that
BPD predicted poorer outcome beyond the effects of other risk factors. Methods. Three
groups of infants (122 with BPD, 84 VLBW without BPD, and 123 full-term) were followed …
