Prevenzione della displasia broncopulmonare attraverso la nutrizione nei neonati prematuri: una revisione sistematica della letteratura.

CONTEXT: Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a multifactorial, chronic lung disease affecting preterm infants. Several interventions have been proposed to prevent BPD; a role for specific nutritional practices has also been suggested. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate, by means of a systematic review of the available literature, which nutritional interventions might prevent BPD in preterm infants. DATA SOURCES: PubMed, The Cochrane Library, and CINAHL were searched using a predefined PICO/PECO strategy for studies recruiting preterm infants (gestational age <37 weeks), examining nutritional interventions, and reporting on BPD. No study design limitation was applied. Articles were included if written
