Abstract
Aims: To assess the presence of chorioamnionitis and intrauterine growth as prenatal risk factors for broncho pulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in appropriate-for-gestational-age (AGA) infants of <28 weeks' gestation.
Methods: Gender, race, birth weight, gestational age, histology of the placenta, diagnosis of BPD at 36 weeks' gestation, postnatal dexamethasone treatment, and death were recorded in 150 preterm infants born at <28 weeks' gestation, and admitted between 1996 and 2001.
Results: In 122 AGA infants (mean gestational age: 26.18 weeks, mean birth weight: 837 g), BPD was associated with gestational age-related birth weights below the 50th centile. Intrauterine growth deceleration started between 25 and 26 weeks' gestation. Chorioamnionitis was not related to BPD.
Conclusions: AGA infants of 26–28 weeks' gestation with birth weights below the median showed an increased risk of developing BPD.
Keywords: Appropriate-for-gestational-age; broncho-pulmonary dysplasia; chorioamnionitis; dexamethasone; extremly-low-birth-weight infants; intrauterine growth; intrauterine infection; placenta histology; preterm infants
