Chronic bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is a very common complication in preterm infants born at a young gestational age, and is a serious disease that impairs respiratory long-term outcome and is associated with higher-frequency neurodevelopmental injury. Lowering the incidence of BPD may improve the health of the preterm babies and neurodevelopmental delay of preterm infants.Vitamin A deficiency may be one of the factors associated with the development of BPD in preterm infants. According to the literature, oral vitamin A administration can lower the incidence of BPD. In our study we plan to give 5000 units of retinol / dose / day, every day for 28 days.
