Neighborhood Disadvantage and Early Respiratory Outcomes in Very Preterm Infants with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia

Abstract

Objective To investigate the impact of neighborhood conditions on respiratory-related hospital admissions in the first year after discharge from the neonatal unit in a population of infants born very preterm with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).Study design Very preterm infants (gestational age <33 weeks) who had BPD at 36 weeks postconceptional age and who received follow-up in a French regional medical network were included. Socioeconomic context was estimated using a neighborhood-based Socioeconomic Deprivation Index. Poisson regression analysis was used to identify risk factors associated with rehospitalization.Results The study included 423 infants with a mean gestational age of 27 +/- 2 weeks and mean birth weight of 941 +/- 277 g; 51% of the population lived in a disadvantaged area. The hospital admission rate was increased by 8.8% for infants living in affluent areas and by 24% for those living in disadvantaged areas (P <.01) and reached 30% in extremely preterm infants from disadvantaged areas. After adjusting for perinatal characteristics, home oxygen therapy, and season of birth, the respiratory-related hospitalization rate was almost 3-fold higher in infants living in disadvantaged areas, with an adjusted incidence rate ratio of 2.79 (95% CI, 1.29-6.09; P <.01).Conclusions Disadvantaged neighborhoods adversely impact early respiratory outcomes in infants born very preterm with BPD. The social context should be considered in routine follow-up care of children born preterm. Further studies investigating the underlying mechanisms are warranted for implementing preventive strategies.
