Popis: Background Pulmonary artery hypertension (PAH) is a common complication among premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Factors associated with PAH among premature Vietnamese infants with BPD are unknown. The purpose of this study was to describe the epidemiological and clinical features of premature infants with BPD who had PAH and to identify the factors associated with PAH in these patients. Methods This descriptive study included 150 infants with BPD admitted to VNCH from August 2017 to July 2018.Clinical data were collected for all BPD patients. PAH screening was performed by echocardiography. Results PAH was more common among male BPD patients (71.9%). Median gestational age was 29 ± 2.1 weeks, 96.5% of cases were Conclusions PAH was common among premature infants with BPD. Prematurity, low birth weight, severe BPD, long-lasting oxygen-dependence were related to PAH in BPD patients.
