Clinical and Biochemical Features of Metabolic Dysregulation in Formerly Preterm Children
In the US, ~100,000 babies are born premature at <34 weeks gestational age (GA) each year, or ~2.7% of all live births. While infant preterm respiratory, pulmonary vascular, and systemic vascular diseases are common among those born preterm, many become asymptomatic in early childhood. Yet, emerging data point to subclinical abnormalities among adult survivors of preterm birth that may ultimately drive their increased rates of long-term cardiopulmonary complications including obstructive lung disease, pulmonary and systemic hypertension, and metabolic disease including diabetes, obesity and metabolic syndrome. Preterm-born young adults have systemic evidence of energy metabolism…
