Outcome of Extremely Preterm Infants Who Received Systemic Postnatal Corticosteroid for Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (DEPRECOD)

September 14, 2021 updated by: Hospices Civils de Lyon
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia is a complication of prematurity. Postnatal corticosteroid is used to treat the inflammatory part of this pathology, in particular to wean premature infants from the ventilator at the end of the first month of life. However, this therapy remains controversial because it may induce suboptimal neurocognitive development. Parents of infants who receive postnatal corticosteroid should be provided with information about the risks. The objective of our work was to evaluate the respiratory, neurodevelopmental and growth outcomes at 24 months corrected age of extremely preterm infants who received postnatal corticosteroid.

Cohorts and Interventions

Group / Cohort
Intervention / Treatment
Preterm infants who received postnatal corticosteroid for bronchopulmonary dysplasia
Corticosteroids used are hydrocortisone (as first-line therapy) and betamethasone (in situations of particular severity)
Data concerning the 24 months corrected age outcomes were collected from the medical records of the ECL'AUR preterm infants follow-up network.
Preterm infants who did not receive postnatal corticosteroid for bronchopulmonary dysplasia
No corticosteroids
