Early Antibiotic Exposure and Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia in Very Preterm Infants at Low Risk of Early-Onset Sepsis

The overutilization of antibiotics in very preterm infants (VPIs) at low risk of early-onset sepsis (EOS) is associated with increased mortality and morbidities. Nevertheless, the association of early antibiotic exposure with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) remains equivocal.
