Abstract:
The causes of 59 postneonatal deaths of very low birthweight infants were determined. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was the cause of 19 deaths. It also coexisted in 12/20 deaths from infection and 9/20 deaths from other causes. Improvement will be best achieved by advances in the prevention and treatment of BPD.
