Peculiarities of the influence of low birth weight on the course of bronchopulmonary pathology in full-term infants.
Abstract
Objective. To study the bronchial-pulmonary function and related pathologies in preterm low-birth- weight infants and to develop measures to alleviate disease conditions based on these studies.
Materials and Methods. Review and analysis of foreign articles and literature.
Results. Based on the literature analysis, it was found that bronchial-pulmonary pathologies associated with this condition progress more severely in preterm low-birth-weight infants compared to full-term infants.
Conclusion. Preterm birth significantly impacts bronchial-pulmonary function and may cause long-term respiratory issues, as identified through literature analysis. The scarcity of research in this area highlights the need for systematic studies and data collection. Future research will pave the way for effective treatment of bronchial-pulmonary pathologies in such infants.
