Abstract
Objective: Identify characteristics associated with death or tracheostomy (D/T) in preterm infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) predominantly managed with non-invasive respiratory support prior to 36 weeks postmenstrual age (PMA).
Study design: Retrospective cohort study at Children's Hospital of Philadelphia of 134 infants meeting inclusion criteria between 2010 and 2017. Various clinical characteristics were considered as predictor variables of the primary outcome, D/T; those associated at p < 0.10 in bivariable logistic regression were evaluated in multivariable models.
Results: Twenty-one (16%) infants had D/T. Treatment with pulmonary vasodilators and the presence of pulmonary hypertension (PH) on echocardiogram at 36 weeks PMA were associated with D/T in bivariable analyses. Pulmonary vasodilator use remained statistically significant in adjusted multivariable models.
Conclusions: We identified a strong association between PH and D/T in this cohort. Our findings emphasize the importance of specialized BPD management that includes early identification of PH in this high-risk population.

The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development.
The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
