Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common morbidity of preterm birth affecting 50% of infants born less than 30 weeks’ gestation in the US.1 Despite preventive efforts, the incidence of BPD is increasing owing to the improved survival of infants born extremely preterm.2 Recent studies suggest racial disparities may adversely affect outcomes for preterm infants experiencing common neonatal morbidities, including respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, and necrotizing enterocolitis, during the initial neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization.3-5 However, our knowledge of the association of racial disparities with outcomes for preterm infants with BPD remains unclear.Keywords
