Early PH is highly prevalent (55%) in preterm infants and associated with the development of BPD, independent of the phenotype of PH. Infants with PPHN had the poorest survival. Early PH presents in various phenotypes characterized by differences in etiology, pathophysiology, and associated long-term sequelae.
