An early TBFVL assessment within three months' CA already reveals lung function alteration in preterm infants. Being female is associated with better Vt/Kg, while longer duration of MV or being born SGA negatively affect tPTEF/tE. The positive association between HMF and better tPTEF/tE in infants with BW <1000 g has emerged, which deserves further investigation.
