About this trial
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a complex disorder and remains the most common complication in very preterm infants. Its incidence is increased with gestational age from 95.5% among infants born at 22 weeks' gestation to 22.2% among those born at 29 weeks' gestation. BPD is associated with the increased risks of delayed neurodevelopment and pulmonary impairment. High incidences of BPD and morbidities indicate inadequacy of current management guidelines of BPD.3 Caffeine reduces the development of BPD by lowering the duration of intubation.4 How to further reduce the risk of BPD and the duration of invasive ventilation remain the key focus for neonatologists.
