Aim:To test the hypothesis that plasma lipid metabolite levels in premature infants are associated with the development of bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). The studies also tested a secondary hypothesis that plasma lipid metabolite levels were correlated with gestational age.Methods:Infants born <32 weeks’ gestation were enrolled during the first 72 h of life. Plasma samples were obtained and lipid levels were measured by LC‐MS/MS. Clinical data were collected to determine infant outcomes and BPD diagnosis.Results:Following adjustment for confounders, lipid levels were not associated with BPD; however, levels of specific lipid metabolites were correlated with gestational age.Conclusion:Immature lipid metabolism pathways in premature infants may contribute to the pathogenesis of BPD and other diseases.
