RESUMEN
Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), the commonest complication of prematurity, is defined by treatment with oxygen for ≥28 days. Pulmonary hypertension (PH) often coexists with BPD and is associated with increased mortality. In 42 autopsies, histological changes of BPD and PH were demonstrated in 25 % and 65 % respectively of preterm infants <28 days of age, highlighting the need for early diagnosis and treatment.
