Abstract 1114

Infants enrolled in the trial, Early Inhaled Glucocorticoid Therapy for Prevention of BPD, were assessed at 6±2 months corrected age (CA) for growth, rehospitalization, medications, and pulmonary function. Beclomethasone therapy was associated with less systemic steroid and bronchodilator therapy, but did not prevent BPD (Pediatr Res. 1998;43:278A). Histories and physical examinations were conducted at 3 study sites, and pulmonary function at 2 sites. Non-paired t tests were used for continuous variables, Wilcoxon rank sum tests for data not normally distributed, and chi square tests for categorical variables.
