AI Technical Summary
Premature infants are at high risk for developing chronic lung disease (CLD), particularly bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD), which leads to long-term respiratory morbidity and reduced quality of life, with existing treatments being inadequate for improving both short-term and long-term outcomes.
Administering insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) or its agonist, optionally combined with insulin-like growth factor binding protein-3 (IGFBP-3), to premature infants to improve lung development and reduce the incidence of CLD.
The administration of IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 significantly reduces the incidence of chronic respiratory morbidity, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and other complications in premature infants, improving their functional status and long-term developmental outcomes.
