Quizplus · Accepted Answer

BPD, or bronchopulmonary dysplasia, is commonly seen in premature infants who receive high concentrations of oxygen and have a history of IRDS. While infants weighing more than 1500 g may still develop BPD, they are less likely to do so than smaller infants. Low positive-pressure mechanical ventilation is not a known risk factor for BPD.
