Abstract

In this cohort study of extremely preterm infants, the introduction of prophylactic hydrocortisone was associated with increased survival without BPD, after adjusting for covariates. There was no significant increase in severe neonatal morbidities, except that late-onset bacterial infection was more common in the exposed group before adjustments.
