RISK FACTORS IN BRONCHOPULMONARY DYSPLASIA--FOLLOW UP STUDY

我们建议通过电话采访83名儿童的父母 期间在梅里特特别护理托儿所住院的新生儿 时间段为1988年8月1日至1991年6月30日。这些孩子是 出生体重低于1501克的634名儿童的更大队列 年六个新生儿重症监护病房中的任何一个入院 1988年8月1日至1991年6月30日期间的威斯康星州和爱荷华州。 在之前的一项研究中，这些儿童被描述为新生儿期， 并增加出院时间，目的是找出危险因素 支气管肺发育不良。本研究的目的是：(1) 描述极低出生的长期结果(健康和功能) 新生儿体重，特别是在显著提高存活率的情况下 和新生儿期的新治疗选择；以及(2)相互关联 早期发展的肺部疾病指数的长期结果 研究以及初步研究中记录的其他因素；以及 (3)描述这些儿童的卫生保健利用和获得情况； 特别是在保险覆盖率、发病率和社会经济方面 状态。

We propose to interview by telephone parents of a group of 83 children who were hospitalized as neonates at Meriter Special Care Nursery during the time period August 1, 1988 - June 30, 1991. These children are part of a larger cohort of 634 children with birth weight below 1501 grams enrolled at admission to any of six neonatal intensive care units in Wisconsin and Iowa in the time period August 1, 1988 - June 30, 1991. In a previous study, the children were described in the neonatal period, and up hospital discharge with the purpose of finding risk factors for bronchopulmonary dysplasia. The purposes of this study are: (1) to describe long-term outcome (health and functioning) of very low birth weight neonates, especially in light of dramatically improving survival and new treatment options in the neonatal period; and (2) to correlate long-term outcome to pulmonary disease indices developed in the initial study as well as to other factors documented in the initial study; and (3) to describe health care utilization and access for these children, especially as related to insurance coverage, morbidity and socioeconomic status.
