Outcome of Extremely Preterm Infants Who Received Systemic Postnatal Corticosteroid for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Completed
Conditions
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia
Registration Number
NCT05055193
Lead Sponsor
Hospices Civils de Lyon
Brief Summary

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a complication of prematurity. Postnatal corticosteroid is used to treat the inflammatory part of this pathology, in particular to wean premature infants from the ventilator at the end of the first month of life. However, this therapy remains controversial because it may induce suboptimal neurocognitive development. Parents of infants who receive postnatal corticosteroid should be provided with information about the risks. The objective of our work was to evaluate the respiratory, neurodevelopmental and growth outcomes at 24 months corrected age of extremely preterm infants who received postnatal corticosteroid.
