  • Risk factors include:

    Congenital heart disease

    Prematurity, usually in infants born before 32 weeks of gestation

    Severe respiratory or lung infection

    Other severe illness in the newborn that needs to be treated with oxygen or a ventilator

    The risk of severe BPD has decreased in recent years.

  • Causes, incidence, and risk factors

    Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) occurs in severely ill infants who have received high levels of oxygen for long periods of time or who have been on a breathing machine ( ventilator).

    It is more common in infants born early (prematurely), whose lungs were not fully developed at birth.

  • Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a chronic lung condition that affects newborn babies who were either put on a breathing machine after birth or were born very early (prematurely).
