An Update on Lung Function of Extremely and Very Preterm Infants in Later Life: The Role of Early Nutritional Interventions.

The marginally significant (or even non-significant) differences in pulmonary function according to the severity of BPD in these studies suggest that respiratory deficits during childhood are probably related to the degree of prematurity and that the BPD classification is likely of limited value for the prediction of future pulmonary function as evaluated by spirometric parameters [ 14 ].
