This study is looking at how the lungs develop in babies, especially those with Bronchopulmonary Dysplasia (BPD), a breathing problem common in premature infants. Researchers will use an MRI device (a machine that uses magnets and radio waves to create detailed pictures of organs and structures inside the body) to take images of the lungs. They will also use Polysomnography (a sleep study that records brain waves, oxygen levels, heart rate, and breathing during sleep) to understand breathing issues. The main goal is to see how lung anatomy looks on MRI. This study is for NICU patients up to 4 months old, but excludes those with certain other health conditions. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status and plans to enroll 160 participants.

Study design

This is an observational study involving 160 participants. It is not a randomized trial and does not specify a phase.

What's involved

Participants will have up to three MRI visits, with the first after initial evaluation, the second about one month later, and the third before discharge. Some participants may also have a brief inpatient polysomnogram in the NICU.

Compensation

Not stated in the trial record.

Follow-up

Anatomic phenotypes using MRI are measured at baseline, but no further follow-up duration is specified.
