AB Bronchopulmonary  dysplasia  (BPD)  is  the  most  common  chronic  complication  associated  with  preterm  birth.  In  the  United  States,  it  affects  between  10,000  and  15,000  infants  annually,  including  as  many  as  50%  of  extremely  low–birth-weight  (ELBW;  birth  weight  <  1000  g)  infants.  BPD  is  a  leading  cause  of  mortality  after  the  first  month  of  life  in  extremely  preterm  infants  and  is  a  strong  predictor  of  chronic  respiratory  and  cardiovascular  impairments,  growth  failure,  and  neurodevelopmental  delay.
