Abstract
Screening for pulmonary hypertension (PH) in infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was recommended by the American Thoracic Society in 2015. However, the definition of BPD has since changed. This review summarizes the current definition of BPD, the recommendations and tools for screening for PH in infants with BPD, and the various treatment options and outcomes in infants with BPD-PH.
