Abstract
Improved technology and care have resulted in an increased number of survivors of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome. Although the incidence of bronchopulmonary dysplasia has remained fairly stable,1 the absolute number of infants requiring prolonged hospitalization for oxygen therapy has increased in our nursery. Several reports2-4 have documented the feasibility and efficacy of home management of infants with chronic lung disease. Our own experience with such a program began in August 1978. It is the purpose of this communication to document the cost effectiveness of our home management program.
