Department of Child Health, University of Wales College of Medicine, Cardiff, UK.

The causes of 59 postneonatal deaths of very low birthweight infants were determined. Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) was the cause of 19 deaths. It also coexisted in 12/20 deaths from infection and 9/20 deaths from other causes. Improvement will be best achieved by advances in the prevention and treatment of BPD.
