Preterm lung disease: not just for neonatologistsImprovements in neonatal critical care have resulted in more people than ever reaching adulthood after being born prematurely. At the same time, it is becoming clearer that preterm birth can increase the risk of respiratory disease throughout a person’s lifetime. Awareness that a patient was born preterm can enable early specialist assessment and intervention when there is any concern about lung health.

Research
Unravelling the respiratory health path across the lifespan for survivors of preterm birthMany survivors of preterm birth will have abnormal lung development, reduced peak lung function and, potentially, an increased rate of physiological lung function decline, each of which places them at increased risk of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease across the lifespan.
News & Events
Despite advances in neonatal care, preterm babies have lower lung function throughout their lifeAnalysis of worldwide research shows that despite advances in neonatal care, preterm babies have lower lung function throughout their life.
