Respiratory morbidity in former premature infants with BPD.

This research project will investigate the long-term respiratory complications of premature birth and BPD. It will focus on classical techniques including lung function but will mainly investigate the long-term morbidity using new techniques such as functional respiratory imaging. The correlation between long-term pulmonary morbidity and airway inflammation at birth will also be assessed. This project is supported by the Josephine Neiman Foundation.
