University Hospital of Lyon Reports Findings in Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (Efficacy and tolerance of intravenous methylprednisolone pulses in children with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia requiring respiratory support).

A study conducted at the University Hospital of Lyon in France examined the efficacy and tolerance of intravenous methylprednisolone pulses in children with severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia requiring respiratory support. The research found that intravenous methylprednisolone did not significantly improve the Pulmonary Severity Score and was associated with a high number of infections. The study concluded that further research is needed to better define the role of intravenous methylprednisolone in these infants. [Extracted from the article]
