The studying of various courses and outcomes of bronchopulmonary dysplasia is an important direction of modern pediatric research. Researchers of different profiles have an interest in the issue not only due to the recent publication of results obtained after 50-yearlong observations which occurred since the disease has been described for the first time, but also due to the successes of functional diagnostics and the improvements made in visualizing structural lesions in the lungs. The review describes the modern concepts concerning the course of bronchopulmonary dysplasia, as well as the factors affecting the disease outcomes.
