We conducted a systematic review and <em>meta</em>-analysis to investigate adult lung function following EP birth (gestational age <28 weeks); comparing forced expiratory volume in first second (FEV<sub>1</sub>), forced vital capacity (FVC), and FEV<sub>1</sub>/FVC to reference values. Subgroup differences were explored based on timing of birth relative to surfactant use (1991) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) status. Systematic searches were performed in Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science and Cochrane Central. Quality assessments were carried out using a modified Newcastle-Ottawa Scale for cohort studies. Sixteen studies encompassing 1036 EP-born adults were included, with 14 studies (n = 787) reporting data as %predicted, and 11 (n = 879) as z-score (not mutually exclusive). Overall mean [95 % confidence interval (CI)] %FEV<sub>1</sub> was 85.30 (82.51; 88.09), %FVC was 94.33 (91.74; 96.91), and FEV<sub>1</sub>/FVC was 79.54 (77.71 to 81.38), all three with high heterogeneity.
