Implementation of a routine respiratory follow-up after prematurity less than 32 weeks gestation or below 1,500 g birthweight at preschool age—a two-year experience
Our study demonstrated that a respiratory follow-up for preterm infants is highly accepted and feasible at preschool age. Up to 30% of infants were identified with impaired lung function and subsequently received appropriate management, highlighting the importance of standardized and routine respiratory follow-up for these children.
