Correlation between tear levels of vascular endothelial growth factor and vitamin D at retinopathy of prematurity stages in preterm infants. Sci Rep 2023; 13:16175. [PMID: 37759071 PMCID: PMC10533881 DOI: 10.1038/s41598-023-43338-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/06/2023] [Accepted: 09/22/2023] [Indexed: 09/29/2023] Open
Abstract
Deregulation of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) levels leads to retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Vitamin D (VIT-D) is known to regulate VEGF in an oxygen dependent manner. The purpose of this study was to correlate tear levels of VEGF and VIT-D with different ROP stages in preterm infants. In this prospective cross-sectional study, we enrolled 104 pre-term infants. They were grouped into: Group-1 (Classical ROP) and Group-2 (Aggressive ROP), which were further subdivided into Group-1A (progressing), Group-1B (regressing), Group-2A (pre-treatment), and Group-2B (post-treatment). Tear VEGF and VIT-D levels and their association with different ROP stages were assessed. Stage 1 and stage 2 had higher whereas stage 3 had lower VEGF levels in Group-1B compared to Group-1A. Stage 1 and stage 3 showed higher levels of VIT-D with no difference in stage 2 in Group-1B compared to Group-1A., Group-2B showed higher VEGF and lower VIT-D levels compared to Group-2A. Presence of a positive correlation at an early stage (stage 1) of ROP and a negative correlation at a more advanced stage (stage 3) of ROP with VIT-D and VEGF implies stage-specific distinct signaling crosstalk. These findings suggest that VIT-D supplementation may have the potential to modify the course and outcome of ROP.

BMC Pediatr 2023; 23:324. [PMID: 37365549 DOI: 10.1186/s12887-023-04088-w] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/05/2022] [Accepted: 05/23/2023] [Indexed: 06/28/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D deficiency is particularly concerning in pregnant women, leading to various health-related issues in mothers and their babies, especially those born prematurely, including neonatal skeletal and respiratory disorders. In addition, there have been several reports indicating the presence of multiple impactful factors in the development of vitamin D deficiency. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the vitamin D level in very preterm and moderately preterm newborns and investigate its association with presumed influential factors. METHODS This cross-sectional descriptive study was performed on 54 mothers and their preterm neonates with gestational ages less than 34 weeks at delivery (i.e., very preterm and moderately preterm). After the serum vitamin D levels were determined from samples obtained in the first 24 h after birth, the babies were divided into two groups based on the presence or absence of deficiency. The relationship between several factors and the neonatal serum vitamin D level was investigated separately and in a linear step-wise regression model. RESULTS The differences between the groups regarding maternal age, gestational age, neonate's gender, birth weight, and delivery method with neonatal vitamin D levels were not statistically significant. However, maternal vitamin D levels strongly correlated with neonatal vitamin D levels (P-value < 0.001, r = 0.636). The regression model also yielded a strong predictive capability (P-value < 0.001, Adjusted R2 = 0.606), with the maternal vitamin D level demonstrating a significant impact. CONCLUSIONS Low vitamin D levels in pregnant mothers correlate with deficient levels in their preterm neonates. Therefore, as vitamin D deficiency significantly affects both the mother's and newborn's health, it is recommended that healthcare providers provide comprehensive plans for vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Growing evidence suggests an association between the vitamin D levels and respiratory outcomes of preterm infants. The objective of this systematic review and meta-analysis was to explore whether premature neonates with a vitamin D deficiency have an increased risk of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS). METHODS We searched PubMed, EMBASE, and the Cochrane Library up through July 20, 2021. The search terms were 'premature infant', 'vitamin D', and 'respiratory distress syndrome'. We retrieved randomized controlled trials and cohort and case-control studies. For statistical analysis, we employed the random-effects model in Comprehensive Meta-Analysis Software ver. 3.3. We employed the Newcastle-Ottawa Scales for quality assessment of the included studies. RESULTS A total of 121 potentially relevant studies were found, of which 15 (12 cohort studies and 3 case-control studies) met the inclusion criteria; the studies included 2,051 preterm infants. We found significant associations between RDS development in such infants and vitamin D deficiency within 24 h of birth based on various criteria, thus vitamin D levels < 30 ng/mL (OR 3.478; 95% CI 1.817-6.659; p < 0.001), < 20 ng/mL (OR 4.549; 95% CI 3.007-6.881; p < 0.001), < 15 ng/mL (OR 17.267; 95% CI 1.084-275.112; p = 0.044), and < 10 ng/ml (OR 1.732; 95% CI 1.031-2.910; p = 0.038), and an even lower level of vitamin D (SMD = -0.656; 95% CI -1.029 to -0.283; p = 0.001). CONCLUSION Although the vitamin D deficiency definitions varied and different methods were used to measure vitamin D levels, vitamin D deficiency or lower levels of vitamin D within 24 h of birth were always associated with RDS development. Monitoring of neonatal vitamin D levels or the maintenance of adequate levels may reduce the risk of RDS.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency (serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] levels <20 ng/mL in serum) is a common health condition among pregnant women, especially in high-risk groups. Evidence has connected vitamin D levels with many health-related problems during pregnancy, including gestational diabetes and preeclampsia. Because of vitamin D’s effect on both mother and fetus, we systematically review the association between 25(OH)D level and its health effects. From a total of 143 studies, 43 came from PubMed, 4 from Cochrane, and 96 from EMBASE. After screening, we identified 38 studies as candidates for inclusion. Ultimately, we limited this review to 23 articles originating from 12 countries, written in English or Spanish, and conducted between 2010 and 2022. We conducted this review according to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis (PRISMA) guidelines and evaluated the quality and strength of the evidence by using the Navigation Guide Systematic Review Methodology (SING). These systematic reviews summarize findings that support vitamin D’s role in reducing risks of multiple outcomes and the possible contribution of adequate vitamin D levels to a healthy pregnancy.

Abstract
The role of vitamin D in improving maternal health and reducing the risk of developmental disorders in fetus has been an important domain of research since the past few years. Vitamin D, owing to its immunomodulatory, anti-inflammatory, developmental roles, and regulating calcium homeostasis, is predicted to have a significant influence on maternal and fetal health status. Several observational studies and clinical trials, determining the impact of vitamin D on gestational diabetes, C-section, postpartum depression, pre-eclampsia, miscarriages, and preterm delivery, have been elaborated in this review. In addition, fetal birth defects including neurological development, reduced birth weight, respiratory infections, bone development, and altered anthropometrics have also been summarized with available evidences. Other important mechanisms related to the roles of vitamin D in the body are also explained. Furthermore, recent studies determining the effect of vitamin D at genetic level will also help in understanding and future design of research in the area of maternal and fetal health.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES Nutritional vitamin D supplements are often used in general pediatrics. Here, the aim is to address vitamin D supplementation and calcium nutritional intakes in newborns, infants, children, and adolescents to prevent vitamin D deficiency and rickets in general populations. STUDY DESIGN We formulated clinical questions relating to the following categories: the Patient (or Population) to whom the recommendation will apply; the Intervention being considered; the Comparison (which may be "no action," placebo, or an alternative intervention); and the Outcomes affected by the intervention (PICO). These PICO elements were arranged into the questions to be addressed in the literature searches. Each PICO question then formed the basis for a statement. The population covered consisted of children aged between 0 and 18 years and premature babies hospitalized in neonatology. Two groups were assembled: a core working group and a voting panel from different scientific pediatric committees from the French Society of Pediatrics and national scientific societies. RESULTS We present here 35 clinical practice points (CPPs) for the use of native vitamin D therapy (ergocalciferol, vitamin D2 and cholecalciferol, vitamin D3) and calcium nutritional intakes in general pediatric populations. CONCLUSION This consensus document was developed to provide guidance to health care professionals on the use of nutritional vitamin D and dietary modalities to achieve the recommended calcium intakes in general pediatric populations. These CPPs will be revised periodically. Research recommendations to study key vitamin D outcome measures in children are also suggested.

Abstract
AIM This study retrospectively evaluated the effectiveness and safety of a local hospital protocol of vitamin D supplementation for preterm infants, which was modified in 2016. METHODS We focussed on 99 preterm infants born before 31 weeks of gestation and admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit at the Femme Mere Enfant Hospital, Bron, France, from 1 January to 31 December 2018. Calcium and urinary calcium were measured, and 25-hydroxy vitamin D (25(OH)D) levels were monitored monthly and supplementation was adjusted, with 50-120 nmol/L considered normal. The results are presented as medians and interquartile ranges. RESULTS The infants were enrolled at a gestational age of 28.0 [26.9-29.1] weeks and birth weight of 960 [800-1160] g. When they were discharged at 37.3 [35.2-39.8] weeks, the overall 25(OH)D level was 98 [79-140] nmol/L: 4% had low levels, 63% had normal levels and 33% had high levels. Vitamin D supplementation was withdrawn for 60% more than one month before discharge. Rickets or fractures were not reported. CONCLUSION The modified protocol limited underdosing and significant overdosing, but moderate hypervitaminosis D was still frequent. Urgent studies are needed to determine the optimal supplementation and clinical impact of 25(OH)D on comorbidities in preterm infants.

Abstract
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE There remains controversy regarding vitamin D deficiency and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) preterm infants. This study aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency assessed by umbilical cord blood 25-hydroxyvitamin D [25(OH)D] in preterm infants in northeast China and to evaluate the ability and optimal threshold of 25(OH)D for predicting BPD. METHODS The clinical data of VLBW and ELBW preterm infants with known cord-blood 25(OH)D levels were analyzed retrospectively. Infants were divided into groups based on their cord-blood 25(OH)D levels and BPD diagnosis. Logistic regression was performed to assess the risk factors for BPD and a nomogram was established. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to evaluate the optimal threshold of cord-blood 25(OH)D concentration for predicting BPD. RESULTS A total of 267 preterm infants were included, of which 225 (84.3%) exhibited vitamin D deficiency and 134 (50.2%) were diagnosed with BPD. The incidence of BPD was lower in the group with a 25(OH)D level of >20 ng/ml than in the other groups (P = 0.024). Infants with BPD had lower cord-blood 25(OH)D levels than those without BPD (11.6 vs. 13.6 ng/ml, P = 0.016). The multivariate logistic regression model revealed that 25(OH)D levels (odds ratio [OR] = 0.933, 95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.891-0.977), gestational age (OR = 0.561, 95% CI: 0.425-0.740), respiratory distress syndrome (OR = 2.989, 95% CI: 1.455-6.142), and pneumonia (OR = 2.546, 95% CI: 1.398-4.639) were independent risk factors for BPD. A predictive nomogram containing these four risk factors was established, which had a C-index of 0.814. ROC curve analysis revealed that the optimal cutoff value of 25(OH)D for predicting BPD was 15.7 ng/ml (area under the curve = 0.585, 95% CI: 0.523-0.645, P = 0.016), with a sensitivity of 75.4% and a specificity of 42.9%. CONCLUSIONS A cord-blood 25(OH)D level of <15.7 ng/ml was predictively valuable for the development of BPD. The nomogram established in this study can help pediatricians predict the risk of BPD more effectively and easily.

Abstract
Vitamin D deficiency is common and increases the likelihood of neonatal morbidities in preterm infants. This study assessed vitamin D levels at 1 month of age after 4 weeks of vitamin D supplementation and determined the association between vitamin D levels and neonatal morbidities.This retrospective study included preterm infants with birth weight <1500 g or gestational age <32 weeks born in our hospital between January 2018 and December 2019. They were administered 400 IU of oral vitamin D supplementation after birth according to our policy. The infants were then divided into sufficient (≥20 ng/mL) and deficient (<20 ng/mL) groups according to their serum vitamin D levels at 1 month of age.The vitamin D deficient and sufficient groups included 49 and 41 patients, respectively. The mean gestational age and birth weight. GHT in the vitamin D deficient group were 29.1 ± 2.1 weeks and 1216.1 ± 308.1 g, respectively, and 30.0 ± 1.7 weeks and 1387.6 ± 350.8 g, respectively, in the sufficient group. No significant differences were observed between the 2 groups in demographic and clinical outcomes except for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which occurred significantly more often in the vitamin D-deficient group (odds ratio 2.21; 95% confidence interval, 1.85-2.78; P = .02).The results of our study suggest that vitamin D deficiency at 1 month of age is associated with BPD in preterm infants.

Abstract
Preterm birth is a leading cause of neonatal morbidity. Survivors have a greater risk for kidney dysfunction and hypertension. Little is known about the molecular changes that occur in the kidney of individuals born preterm. Here, we demonstrate that mice delivered two days prior to full term gestation undergo premature cessation of nephrogenesis, resulting in a lower glomerular density. Kidneys from preterm and term groups exhibited differences in gene expression profiles at 20- and 27-days post-conception, including significant differences in the expression of fat-soluble vitamin-related genes. Kidneys of the preterm mice exhibited decreased proportions of endothelial cells and a lower expression of genes promoting angiogenesis compared to the term group. Kidneys from the preterm mice also had altered nephron progenitor subpopulations, early Six2 depletion, and altered Jag1 expression in the nephrogenic zone, consistent with premature differentiation of nephron progenitor cells. In conclusion, preterm birth alone was sufficient to shorten the duration of nephrogenesis and cause premature differentiation of nephron progenitor cells. These candidate genes and pathways may provide targets to improve kidney health in preterm infants.

Abstract
Objective: Vitamin D deficiency is a major health problem in all age groups. In the present study, we aimed to determine the prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in neonates hospitalized in an intensive care unit (NICU) and its association with clinical neonatal outcomes. Materials and methods: A prospective cross-sectional study was carried out on all neonates hospitalized in the NICU of Children's Medical Center over a period of one year (January–December 2018). Immediately on admission, a serum sample for vitamin D measurement was obtained with another routine blood sampling. Demographic and clinical data including sex, gestational age, the season of birth, serum levels of vitamin D and calcium, the causes of hospitalization, age at admission and neonatal outcomes including length of hospital stay and mortality during hospitalization were assessed. Results: One hundred neonates entered the study. Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were present in 95% of neonates. There was a significant association between vitamin D status and birth during winter (p=0.014); hypocalcemia (p=0.025) and older age at NICU admission (p<0.001). The mean value of vitamin D in term neonates was significantly lower than in preterm neonates (p=0.031). There were no correlations between length of hospital stay and neonatal mortality rate with vitamin D status (p=0.876). Conclusion: Vitamin D deficiency and insufficiency were highly prevalent among NICU patients. Maternal vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy may prevent or reduce the risk of low levels of vitamin D in neonates.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Vitamin D deficiency is one of the most commonly deficient vitamins worldwide. Preterm infants usually suffer from different complications. However, the relationship between vitamin D levels and RDS prevalence has been emerging in the last few years. AIM This study aimed to assess the severity of respiratory distress syndrome in preterm infants who are ≤34 weeks GA, with a birth weight of ≤2 kg, and its relation to their serum blood level of vitamin D. MATERIALS AND METHODS This is a multicenter study conducted at Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) at King Fahad Medical City (KFMC), Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, and Maternity and Children Hospital (MCH), Qassim, Saudi Arabia. We observed prospectively all preterm babies who were ≤34 weeks GA with 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25OHD) serum level ≤30 ng/ml at 24 h of life or less. Included infants were divided into 2 groups; infants with 25-hydroxyvitamin D level of ≤30 ng/ml were the deficient group and those with >30 ng/ml were considered in the normal group. RESULTS 174 preterm infants were included in this study with an average gestational age of 30.2 ± 2.7 weeks. The mean vitamin D level was 30.5 (SD 19.5). Vitamin D deficiency was detected among 99 infants (56.9%). Of the deficient infants, 26.3% were severe, 42.4% moderate and 31.3% were mild. Pneumothorax was 2.9% and mortality rates were recorded among 14 cases (8%). CONCLUSION Vitamin D deficiency was widely prevalent among preterm neonates. Pneumothorax, surfactant doses, oxygen, and mechanical ventilation requirements were statistically significant at vitamin D deficiency.

Abstract
We aimed to investigate the changes in vitamin D levels and factors associated with vitamin D deficiency (VDD) during the first year of life in Korean preterm infants. We enrolled 333 preterm infants who were born at Kyungpook National University Children’s Hospital between March 2013 and December 2019. 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25-OHD) levels and medical records were collected at birth, 6 months, and 12 months of age. The mean gestational age was 33.4 ± 2.3 weeks and mean 25-OHD levels at birth were 18.2 ± 13.5 ng/mL. The incidence of VDD was 82.8%, 30.6%, and 27.0% at birth, 6 months, and 12 months, respectively. The incidence of severe VDD (25-OHD < 10 ng/mL) was 31.5%, 1.5%, and 0%, at birth, 6 months, and 12 months, respectively. Among infants with severe VDD, the deficiency persisted in 49.6% at 6 months, and 35.3% at 12 months. The strongest predictor of VDD during follow-up was 25-OHD concentration at birth. Vitamin D supplementation at 400 IU/day did not affect vitamin D levels during the first year of life. Therefore, it is important to prevent neonatal VDD through maternal vitamin D supplementation during pregnancy. Further research is needed to determine the optimal vitamin D supplementation dose for Korean preterm infants.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE We aimed to assess whether serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D (25(OH)D) levels at birth are associated with pulmonary disease morbidities in very preterm infants. METHODS This prospective cohort analysis included 93 infants born before 32 weeks of gestation in the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University between March 2016 and February 2017. Participants were classified into three groups according to their 25(OH)D levels at birth. The groups were compared in terms of demographic variables and pulmonary disease morbidities. RESULTS The mean serum 25(OH)D level at birth was 35.7 ± 19.1 nmol/L, and 38 (40.9%), 31 (33.3%), and 24 (25.8%) infants had 25(OH)D levels of less than 25 nmol/L, 25-50 nmol/L, and more than or equal to 50 nmol/L, respectively. There was a statistically significant difference in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) rates among the three groups (43.6% vs. 35.9% vs. 20.5%, p = .029). The rates of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, apnea, respiratory failure, persistent pulmonary hypertension, and pulmonary hemorrhage did not differ significantly among the groups. Logistic analysis, adjusted for gestational age and birth weight, showed that a low serum 25(OH)D level (<50 nmol/L) was a risk factor for RDS (odds ratio, 0.195; p = .017). CONCLUSION There was a high prevalence of low 25(OH)D levels (<50 nmol/L) and an association between vitamin D status and RDS in very preterm infants. However, more research on this association is required.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Vitamin D (VitD) is involved in lung development but its influence on respiratory distress syndrome of extremely preterm (EPT) infants have been little investigated. In this study, we examined the influence of low vitamin D status at birth on early respiratory outcomes of this vulnerable infant population. METHODS Cord blood 25(OH)D levels ≤ 75 nmol/L were considered as Low vitamin D levels. Stepwise logistic regression and classification regression-tree analyses were used and the primary outcome was the combined outcome of death or mechanical ventilation need by the end of the first week (death or MV DoL7) as a marker od RDS severity. RESULTS The mean (SD) GA and birth weight were 26 (1.4) weeks and 801 (212) gr, respectively; 81/109 (74%) infants had low 25(OH)D levels. Infants with low VitD levels had 25% higher initial FiO2 levels (p < 0.05) and were more likely to be mechanically ventilated on DoL7 (36 vs. 7%, p < 0.05). Adjusted for gestational age, they had 10-fold higher odds of death or MV DoL7 (p < 0.01). By regression tree analysis, the rate of death or MV DoL7 increased from 18 to 71% in infants with GA < 26 weeks and with cord blood 25(OH)D levels higher and lower than 74 nmol/L, respectively (p < 0.05). CONCLUSION Low vitamin D levels at birth are associated with early adverse respiratory outcomes in infants with GA less 29 weeks. Further largest studies are needed to confirm this association.

Abstract
Neonatal vitamin D deficiency is common and is associated with development of pulmonary disease in children and adults. While the role of vitamin D in normal lung development is well established, the association between vitamin D deficiency and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains unclear. The present meta-analysis was conducted to evaluate the relationship between vitamin D and BPD. We identified relevant studies (n = 8) using the PubMed, EMBASE, Cochrane Library, and KoreaMed databases and applied the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale to assess the methodological components of each study, and used I2 statistic to evaluate heterogeneity. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis software version 3.3 was used for the statistical analysis. A total of 909 infants were included, of whom 251 (27.6%) were diagnosed with BPD. We found that both vitamin D deficiency at birth (four studies; OR 2.405; 95% CI 1.269 to 4.560; p = 0.007) and low levels of vitamin D at birth (four studies; standardized mean difference -1.463; 95% CI -2.900 to -0.027; p = 0.046) were associated with BPD. The compiled data suggest that antenatal vitamin D deficiency and low vitamin D levels are associated with neonatal BPD.

Abstract
AIM The aim of this study was to investigate the status and effects of vitamin D supplement as adjuvant therapy in the management of respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in preterm infants. PATIENT AND METHODS Vitamin D was prospectively studied in 196 preterm neonates, 96 of them developed RDS, which further subdivided into three subgroups (subgroup received just conventional therapy, subgroup received conventional therapy plus vitamin D 400 IU/day, and subgroup received conventional therapy plus vitamin D 800 IU/day). The patient selection for each treatment subgroup was done by computed randomization, and all the patients had the same treatment protocols assigned for each subgroup. RESULTS The preterm group who developed RDS had lower vitamin D concentrations than the preterm group without RDS (*P < .001). Also, the subgroups supplemented with vitamin D had lower Downes Respiratory Distress score and PaCO2 levels, less duration of hospitalization, and complications rates than the subgroup without vitamin D supplementation. The subgroup supplemented with 800 IU/day vitamin D showed also significantly improvement, less hospitalization duration, and less complications than those supplemented with 400 IU/day. CONCLUSIONS 25-hydroxyvitamin D concentration was deficient in most preterm babies especially those who developed RDS. Administration of 800 IU/day vitamin D as an adjuvant therapy in cases of RDS was associated with significant decreased in severity, rate of complications, and duration of hospital stay in preterm neonates with RDS.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common cause of morbidity and mortality in preterm infants. A key histopathological feature of BPD is stunted late lung development, where the process of alveolarization-the generation of alveolar gas exchange units-is impeded, through mechanisms that remain largely unclear. As such, there is interest in the clarification both of the pathomechanisms at play in affected lungs, and the mechanisms of de novo alveoli generation in healthy, developing lungs. A better understanding of normal and pathological alveolarization might reveal opportunities for improved medical management of affected infants. Furthermore, disturbances to the alveolar architecture are a key histopathological feature of several adult chronic lung diseases, including emphysema and fibrosis, and it is envisaged that knowledge about the mechanisms of alveologenesis might facilitate regeneration of healthy lung parenchyma in affected patients. To this end, recent efforts have interrogated clinical data, developed new-and refined existing-in vivo and in vitro models of BPD, have applied new microscopic and radiographic approaches, and have developed advanced cell-culture approaches, including organoid generation. Advances have also been made in the development of other methodologies, including single-cell analysis, metabolomics, lipidomics, and proteomics, as well as the generation and use of complex mouse genetics tools. The objective of this review is to present advances made in our understanding of the mechanisms of lung alveolarization and BPD over the period 1 January 2017-30 June 2019, a period that spans the 50th anniversary of the original clinical description of BPD in preterm infants.
