Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common chronic lung disease of infancy in the developed countries. Outcomes for BPD patients have traditionally been assessed using physiological parameters such as lung function, and no data are available on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for adolescents with BPD. The aim of this study was to assess HRQOL in adolescents with BPD, in comparison with age-matched and sex-matched control groups of healthy volunteers and asthmatic subjects.

Abstract
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common chronic lung disease of infancy in the developed countries. Outcomes for BPD patients have traditionally been assessed using physiological parameters such as lung function, and no data are available on the health-related quality of life (HRQOL) for adolescents with BPD. The aim of this study was to assess HRQOL in adolescents with BPD, in comparison with age-matched and sex-matched control groups of healthy volunteers and asthmatic subjects.File in questo prodotto:
