Risk factors and clinical outcomes of pulmonary hypertension associated with bronchopulmonary dysplasia in extremely premature infants: A systematic review and meta‐analysis
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This systematic review and meta-analysis evaluated the risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia associated pulmonary hypertension (BPD-PH) in extremely premature infants (gestational age < 32 weeks) and its impact on outcomes. A computerized search of eight databases was performed, from the time of library construction to February 2024. The quality of the included studies was assessed with the Newcastle‒Ottawa scale. Statistical analyses were performed using RevMan 5.4.1 and Stata 16.0 software. Meta-analysis of 2137 extremely premature infants revealed that oligohydramnios (OR = 2.21, 95% CI 1.06-4.61), low gestational age (SMD = -0.36, 95% CI -0.47 to -0.24), low birth weight (SMD = -0.54, 95% CI -0.74 to -0.35), small for gestational age (OR = 1.61, 95% CI 1.06-2.44), neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (OR = 2.05, 95% CI 1.45-2.91), grade III bronchopulmonary dysplasia (OR = 4.67, 95% CI 1.34-16.30), and sepsis (OR = 2.25, 95% CI 1.69-4.66) were risk factors for BPD-PH, whereas antenatal steroids (OR = 0.66, 95% CI 0.49-0.88) were protective factors. BPD-PH led to the extension of oxygen therapy (SMD = 0.67, 95% CI 0.42-0.92) and hospital stay (SMD = 0.77, 95% CI 0.14-1.40), and elevated the risk of discharged on oxygen (OR = 2.77, 95% CI 1.35-5.70) and death (OR = 4.38, 95% CI 2.21-8.69). BPD-PH is a multifactorial disease. In this study, a total of seven risk factors, and one protective factor for BPD-PH were identified in extremely premature infants. By managing and mitigating these factors, it is possible to decrease the occurrence of BPD-PH. Furthermore, BPD-PH may increase the risk of a poor prognosis in extremely premature infants.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
