Respiratory Trajectory and BPD Risk in Very Preterm Infants, 2017-2025 Cohort

A nine-year retrospective cohort study of 1,259 very preterm infants admitted to a tertiary neonatal ICU between January 2017 and December 2025. The dataset, authored by Talal Aljarbou, examines factors associated with death before 36 weeks' postmenstrual age or moderate-to-severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, with the composite outcome occurring in 27.1% of the analyzed cohort.

Use Cases

• Modeling risk of death or BPD based on gestational age and respiratory support variables mentioned in the description
• Analyzing the association between cumulative invasive ventilation duration and adverse neonatal outcomes
• Investigating the role of high-frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) exposure as a marker of underlying respiratory illness severity

Strengths

• Includes 1,259 patient records from a nine-year study period (2017-2025).
• Analysis is based on a specific cohort with complete outcome data for 1,253 infants.
• Study employs multivariable logistic regression with model discrimination metrics (AUC 0.807 to 0.841).

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count for the underlying data tables is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Data may reflect the specific practices and patient population of a single tertiary neonatal ICU.
