Abstract

We evaluated whether gestational age is associated with outpatient respiratory outcomes among infants born at extreme limits of viability. Among infants born extremely preterm who presented to a BPD clinic after hospital discharge, those born at gestational ages of 22 to 23 6/7 weeks did not experience worse respiratory outcomes during the first 3 years of life compared with those born at gestational ages of 24 to 25 6/7 weeks.
