It can provide a useful screening tool to identify patients with BPD who may benefit from specialist intervention with respiratory physiotherapists. Further understanding is required of how BPD responds to therapy and which type of treatments are important for this cohort.ReferencesHylton H, Long A, Francis C, et al.
