Perinatal Risk Factors and Outcomes of Pulmonary Air Leak in Very-Low-Birth-Weight Preterm Infants: A Multicenter Registry Study in Taiwan

Pulmonary air leak may cause serious complications and mortality in neonates, especially preterm infants. Its incidence and perinatal risk factors in preterm infants might differ from those in term infants. We investigated the incidence, perinatal risk factors and morbidities associated with pulmonary air leak in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) preterm infants in Taiwan.
