ABSTRACT
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia-associated pulmonary hypertension (BPD-PH) is increasingly being recognized as a cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. Recently, BPD-PH has also been shown to have additional long-term negative effects on neurodevelopmental outcomes and right ventricular function. Several significant risk factors associated with the development of BPD-PH have been identified. A screening strategy for BPD-PH is needed for infants presenting more than one risk factor. In addition, an early echocardiogram within 14 days of age may be a useful tool to identify infants at high-risk for BPD-PH. We have reviewed recent progress in research concerning clinical characteristics, presentation, and outcomes of BPD-PH and have suggested direction for future studies.
