Changes in ventilation modes in the last decade and their impact on the prevalence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterm infants.

The increasing use of non-invasive ventilation was not accompanied by a reduction in the use of invasive ventilation, nor by a reduced prevalence of BPD. The high prevalence of BPD remains a significant problem in extreme prematurity. Other interventions, in addition to less aggressive ventilation, need to be explored.
