Can infant lung function predict respiratory morbidity during the first year of life in preterm infants? [PDF]
Compared with term-born infants, preterm infants have increased respiratory morbidity in the first year of life. We investigated whether lung function tests performed near term predict subsequent respiratory morbidity during the first year of life and ...
