Short description of contents:

Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) is the most common respiratory disease in preterm and is still associated with increased mortality and morbidity. The great interest lies in identifying early biomarkers that can predict the development of BPD. This pilot study explores the potential of e-nose for the early identification of BPD risk in premature infants by analyzing volatile organic compounds (VOCs) in the exhaled breath condensate (EBC). Fourteen mechanically ventilated very preterm infants were included in this study. The clinical parameters and EBC were collected within the first 24 h of life. The discriminative ability of breath prints between preterms who did and did not develop BPD was investigated using pattern recognition, a machine learning algorithm, and standard statistical methods. We found that e-nose probes can significantly predict the outcome of "no-BPD" vs. "BPD". Specifically, a subset of probes (S18, S24, S14, and S6) were found to be significantly predictive, with an AUC of 0.87, 0.89, 0.82, 0.8, and p = 0.019, 0.009, 0.043, 0.047, respectively. The e-nose is an easy-to-use, handheld, non-invasive electronic device that quickly samples breath. Our preliminary study has shown that it has the potential for early prediction of BPD in preterms.
