In this study, a cohort of BPD infants was observed with the late complications obtained by a monthly followed up for 18 months after discharge, the prevalence and risk factors of the late complications of BPD were analyzed by logistic regression. As one of the risk factors, GER was verified whether to play a critical role in these late complications.
