INTRODUCTION Survivors of extreme prematurity may have disrupted lung development. We hypothesized that the multiple breath washout (MBW) index Scond, which is intended to reflect ventilation inhomogeneity from the conducting airways, could be a sensitive marker of respiratory impairment in this group. METHODS Spirometry, TLco, and MBW were cross-sectionally evaluated at 8 to 14 years of age in children born at less then 28 weeks between 2004 and 2010 in Udine, Italy. Age-matched controls born at term were also included. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was
