Abstract

The relevance of the study is due to the fact that bronchopulmonary dysplasia (bpd) is the most common chronic lung disease in children under 3 years of age. The frequency of BPD in children with very low birth weight is 18-76%. Infants with BPD are more likely to be rehospitalized during the first year of life, especially in connection with respiratory infections, which occupy the 1st place in the structure of morbidity in children under 14 years of age. The main reason for repeated hospitalizations of children with BPD is respiratory infections caused by the respiratory syncytial virus and the flu virus. 63% of children with BPD are re-admitted due to respiratory diseases, one of the risk factors for re-hospitalizations is home oxygen therapy (the frequency of hospitalization due to respiratory infections in this group of children is 58%, in children who do not require home oxygen therapy – 18%)
