Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: among surviving extremely preterm infants, the rate of neurodevelopmental disability at 2 years did not differ significantly between infants who received early inhaled budesonide for the prevention of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and those who received placebo, but the mortality rate was higher among those who received budesonide.

Reviewers’ commentary: doubts persist about the benefit-risk relationship of early inhaled corticosteroid treatment in extremely premature infants who require assisted ventilation.
