Per definition of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in infants >32 weeks gestational age [16]. Nine infants were discharged on O2 prior to 56 days median 37d, range 20-55)
Four infants died prior to one week echocardiogram
PH is defined as as estimated pulmonary arterial pressures ≥2/3 systemic pressures
Abbreviations: AUROC - Area under the receiver operating curve; CI - confidence interval; PH - pulmonary hypertension
