Abstract

OBJECTIVE: To compare three bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) definitions against hospital outcomes in a referral-based population.

STUDY DESIGN: Data from the Children's Hospitals Neonatal Consortium were classified by 2018 NICHD, 2019 NRN, and Canadian Neonatal Network (CNN) BPD definitions. Multivariable models evaluated the associations between BPD severity and death, tracheostomy, or length of stay, relative to No BPD references.

RESULTS: Mortality was highest in 2019 NRN Grade 3 infants (aOR 225), followed by 2018 NICHD Grade 3 (aOR 145). Infants with lower BPD grades rarely died (

CONCLUSIONS: Definitions with 3 BPD grades had better discrimination and Grade 3 2019 NRN had the strongest association with outcomes. No/Grade 1 infants rarely had severe outcomes, but Grade 2 infants were at risk. These data may be useful for counseling families and determining therapies for infants with BPD.
