This study characterized in-hospital outcomes of premature infants diagnosed with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). A majority of infants diagnosed with severe BPD were discharged home by 44 weeks of postmenstrual age. These results may inform discussions with families regarding the expected hospital course of infants diagnosed with severe BPD.
