BPD patients have increased Treg frequencies between day 4–10 of life. Treg frequencies [%] are displayed over the first month of life in preterm infants developing bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) within the smallest gestational age group of 23–28 weeks. The generalized estimating equation (GEE) analysis associated changes in Treg frequencies with the interaction between time point and BPD (Tab. 2: −0.657, p = 0.002, α_SH = 0.0073). Comparisons of Treg frequencies between BPD and non-BPD preterm infants showed significantly increased Treg rates in BPD patients on day of life 4–11 (Mann-Whitney U-test: Day of life 1–3: p = 0.5918; Day of life 4–10: p = 0.0343; Day of life 11–17: p = 0.2179). Small dots represent value of one preterm.
