Lower re-hospitalization rates for premature infants with BPD:一个孩子的成功故事

几年前，波士顿儿童临床医生研究人员建立了一项专门的随访计划，针对健康婴儿肺发育中心（CHILD）的支气管肺发育不良（BPD）的过早婴儿（BPD）。从那时起，该人群的结果得到了显着改善。

In a more recent study, it was found that rates of re-hospitalization at both one year and two years of life were considerably lower than those in other published reports. Boston Children’s rates of re-hospitalization in these infants who were less than 32 weeks gestation were 11 percent and 16 percent at 1 year and 2 years, respectively. These compare to rates of 38 to 56 percent in other studies.

Although comparison studies use slightly different methodologies, one non-Boston Children’s study described 24- to 28-week gestational age infants at 18 months of age, and found that 56 percent of the infants with BPD and 43 percent of the infants without BPD were re-admitted. Another reported a re-hospitalization rate of 49 percent in the first year of life for a cohort of patients with BPD.*

如下所示，对于2010年和2011年波士顿儿童的连续多个季度，与BPD相关的重新住院率1-6％的范围- 戏剧性低于其他已发表的费率。
