Abstract
In a cohort of extreme preterm infants, our study revealed a positive yet weak correlation between LUS and EWC, suggesting that EWC was not the major contributing to the evolving chronic lung disease. • Recent evidence links Early Weight-Changes with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm neonates. • Lung ultrasound score has shown promise in early prediction of the subsequent development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants.No studies have examined the correlation between Early Weight-Changes and Lung ultrasound score in preterm infants during first 2 weeks after birth. • Our study demonstrated a positive and statistically significant correlation between early LUS and EWC, indicating their potential role as early predictors for the subsequent development of BPD in extreme preterm infants. • The weak correlation between the two parameters may stem from the possible restricted influence of EWC, given that it may not be the primary factor contributing to the evolving chronic lung disease.
