With continuing advances in the care of critically ill neonates, the nomenclature of BPD is evolving, as is its incidence and pathogenesis. Today, BPD is often referred to as chronic lung disease of infancy (CLDI).1 Both BPD and CLDI are chronic pulmonary disorders that result from an acute and often critical respiratory illness in a newborn infant, and there is considerable overlap in their pathogenesis, risk factors, and manifestations. Thus, the two terms are generally considered to be interchangeable.
