Objectives To evaluate the predicting value of bedside pulmonary ultrasound in bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) in premature infants.Methods Premature infants with gestational age below 28 weeks or birth weight below 1 500 g admitted to NICU of Chengdu Women and Children’s Central Hospital from June 2018 to June 2019 were included. Pulmonary bedside ultrasound monitoring was performed on the 3rd, 7th, 14th and 28th day after admission, and the characteristic ultrasound images were recorded and scored. BPD were diagnosed by NICHD standard. The clinical data and pulmonary ultrasound data were compared and analyzed. Then diagnostic value of bedside pulmonary ultrasound in BPD of premature infants were analyzed.Results A total of 81 children involving 32 BPD and 49 non-BPD were included. The sensitivity (Sen), specificity (Spe) and area under curve (AUC) of receiver operating characteristic (ROC) of the "alveolar-interstitial syndrome" within 3 days after birth and the "fragment sign" on 28 days after birth were 81.25%, 51.02%, 0.66 and 31.25%, 97.96%, 0.65, respectively. The lung ultrasound scores in the BPD group on the 3rd, 7th, 14th, and 28th day after birth were 71.99.%, 68.39%, 0.71; 87.50%, 57.14%, 0.72; 78.13%, 73.47%, 0.76 and 56.25 %, 75.51%, 0.66. Sen, Spe and ROC AUC of comprehensive evaluation of lung ultrasound predicted the occurrence of BPD been 81.25%, 63.27%, and 0.85.Conclusions The comprehensive evaluation of combination of "alveolar interstitial syndrome" image characteristics within 3 days after birth, "fragment sign" image characteristics after 28 days, and lung ultrasound score at different times after birth can predict the premature infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia.
