Respiratory outcomes include obstructive patterns, reduced expiratory flows, and impaired exercise tolerance persisting into adulthood. Neurodevelopmental outcomes show BPD is independently associated with delays in motor, language, and social skills, and preterm infants have a higher risk of neuropsychiatric disorders. Cardiovascular risks include pulmonary hypertension in childhood and higher rates of ischemic heart disease and hypertension in adulthood.
