Exhaled volatile organic compounds predict bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants
1. Exhaled volatile organic compounds (VOCs) at day 3 and day 7 of life in preterm infants (<30 weeks) are predictive of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) at 36 weeks of life. 2. Adding VOC prediction into existing BPD models increases the predictive power over the existing model alone in infants on non-invasive ventilatory support. Evidence Rating
