Description
Andrea Jaramillo-Cerezo leads a team charting chronic lung disease of prematurity in a Colombian intensive care unit. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia hits preterm babies hard, yet data from middle income settings stay thin. Their cohort covered babies born before thirty two weeks between 2021 and 2023, with the disease judged by support needs at thirty six weeks. Records supplied birth, maternal, and treatment factors for statistical modeling.
Of 338 babies enrolled, 299 survived long enough to be judged, and about seventy six percent met the disease mark. Most cases were mild, though roughly five percent reached a potentially fatal grade, and overall deaths ran at thirteen percent. Extreme prematurity, invasive ventilation, diuretics, infection, maternal thyroid disease, and prenatal steroids each linked independently. The team spotlights fixable care factors for similar units.
