Researchers revealed new insights into the long-term effects of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), a chronic lung disease that primarily affects premature infants, on patient health. The new paper, co-authored by Dr. Sharon A. McGrath-Morrow, MBA, MD, Associate Chief of the Division of Pulmonary and Sleep Medicine at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia (CHOP) and member of PRCCEH, published in the Journal of Perinatology, underscores the importance of early intervention and comprehensive care for individuals with BPD, with potential respiratory consequences lasting throughout their lives.
