Exploring the Relationship Between Blood Transfusions and Development of Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Neonates
This study found a significant association between blood transfusions and the development of BPD in preterm neonates, and it was found as a strong predictor. Other factors such as ROP, PDA, sepsis, and NIV use were also associated with BPD. The findings suggest that blood transfusion may play a critical role in the development of BPD.
