Abstract:Objectives To investigate risk factors associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) by our analyzing clinical data in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Methods A retrospective study was performed on the hospitalization data of infants with gestational age < 34 weeks. Totally 225 infants were divided into BPD group (23cases, including mild BPD group and moderate-severe BPD group) and non-BPD group (202 cases) according to the diagnostic criteria. We compared antenatal period data and treatment data of premature infants between BPD group and non-BPD groups to find out significant indexes analyzed by multifactors Logistic regression analysis. Results Multivariable logistic regression analysis indicated that gestational age [OlR??=?2.02, (95% CI: 1.13, 4.25)], sepsis [OlR?=?1.79, (95% CI: 1.54, 2.41], mechanical ventilation time [OlR?=?1.83, (95% CI: 1.27, 3.62)] were significant risk factors for BPD in premature infants. Conclusion Gestational ages, Sepsis and mechanical ventilation time are the risk factors of BPD among premature infants, as well as related to the severity of BPD. BPD can be prevented by reducing time of invasive ventilation.
