Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: - born = 28 days from birth until 36 weeks of PMA - moderate or severe BPD at 36 weeks postmenstrual age
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Significant congenital heart disease (not being persisting ductus arteriosus, small atrial septal defect, ventricular septal defect) - pulmonary hypertension treated with sildenafil or bosentan - retinopathy of prematurity for which the ophthalmologist recommended a patient specific SpO2 target - congenital malformations of the lung or airways - severe acquired upper airway abnormalities like subglottic stenosis necessitating endotracheal intubation - interstitial lung disease
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| The primary objective of this study is to investigate if targeting a higher SpO2 (i.e. 95% lower limit) leads to superior growth of normal lung tissue (assessed indirectly by body weight) at 6 months corrected age as compared to targeting a lower SpO2 (90% lower limit) in children with moderate-severe BPD from 36 weeks PMA and onwards. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Secondary outcomes are: - body weight and height at 12 months corrected age - health care consumption (visits to helath care professionals, admissions) - quality of life of the parents or caregivers. In a subgroup of children: - lung function (lung clearance index) - chest CT scores - pulmonary hypertension and/or right ventricle systolic function. | — |
