Abstract
With the rapid economic growth, advances in perinatal care have improved the survival rate for very low-birth weight (VLBW) infants in China. BPD persists as one of the major complications in surviving very premature infants, and predicts adverse developmental and clinical outcomes of these infants. As we know, we have founded the world's largest center of Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs, with 450 infant incubators and about 6,000 admissions per year) in China, including the full term-, the late preterm-, the very preterm- and the surgical-NICU. There were about 1,200 neonates with gestational age (GA) <32 weeks admitted to the very preterm-NICU. Thus, it is meaningful to get to know the risk factors, incidence and severity of BPD in this world's largest NICUs.
