Figure 1 Multiple exposures during the prenatal and postnatal periods contribute to the development of BPD. Stimuli encountered in the prenatal and early postnatal period appear to have the strongest influence in determining long-term pulmonary outcome. These exposures and their potential for generating inflammatory responses and altered lung development are outlined in the top part of the figure. The lower boxes summarize key strategies needed to prevent and manage early, evolving and established BPD in a system-based manner.
