Abstract: BackgroundBronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a common cause of morbidity in preterm infants, leading to long-term respiratory complications and risk of neurodevelopmental impairment. Although it has a multifactorial etiology, local inflammation may play a major role. Objectives. We aimed to analyze the relationship between nasopharyngeal aspirate (NA) interleukin 6 (IL6) levels and clinical and imaging findings of BPD. Methods: Pilot study in preterm infants
