Brief Summary
It is intended to examine the short-term and long-term efficacy and safety of intravenous immunoglobulin(IVIG) for the bronchopulmonary dysplasia in preterms born at 28 weeks and below. Participants will received continuous infusion IVIG 1 g/kg/day for the first 2 days, 0.5 g/kg/day for next 3 days (total does 3.5 g/kg), repeatable if necessary.

Outcome Measures
Primary Outcomes (1)
rate of BPD and severity classification at postmenstrual age (PMA) 36 weeks
Diagnostic Criteria for BPD: The 2018 National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) diagnostic criteria will be applied, defining BPD in preterm infants born at \<32 weeks GA as the presence of radiographically confirmed persistent parenchymal lung disease with a requirement for supplemental oxygen support (for ≥3 consecutive days) at PMA 36 weeks to maintain arterial oxygen saturation in the range of 90-95%.
36 weeks of postmenstrual age
Secondary Outcomes (7)
duration of respiratory support
until first discharge home or 36 weeks PMA
Preterm birth complications
until first discharge home or 36 weeks PMA
Neurodevelopmental assessment
Corrected age/ chronological age of 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years
Pulmonary function testing
Corrected age/ chronological age of 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years
Weight
Corrected age/ chronological age of 6 months, 1 year, and 2 years

Study Arms (1)
IVIG
EXPERIMENTALDrug: intravenous immunoglobulin 1 g/kg/day for the first 2 days, 0.5 g/kg/day for next 3 days (total does 3.5 g/kg), repeatable if necessary.
Interventions
1 g/kg/day for the first 2 days, 0.5 g/kg/day for next 3 days (total does 3.5 g/kg), repeatable if necessary.
Eligibility Criteria
You may qualify if:
- Gestational age ≤ 28 weeks + 6 days
- Admission within 24 hours after birth.
- Infants show a suspicion of BPD, the diagnosis is suspected based on the following clinical manifestations and chest X-ray findings.
- Clinical manifestations: Respiratory symptoms such as tachypnea (rapid breathing) and cyanosis, requiring respiratory support (including invasive, non-invasive, or oxygen therapy) to maintain oxygen saturation.
- Chest X-ray: Findings include increased bilateral lung markings or ground-glass opacities, and diffuse increased density in both lungs. Other possible causes such as infection or heart disease should be ruled out.
- A normal full-term newborn without a history of severe lung diseases, birth asphyxia, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy or other conditions that may affect the development of the respiratory, nervous and other systems.
You may not qualify if:
- Major congenital anomalies(e.g., congenital heart disease, congenital craniocerebral deformity, congenital structural abnormality of respiratory system, congenital hereditary metabolic disease)
- Chromosomal defects (e.g., trisomy 13, 18, 21)
- Severe intracranial hemorrhage
- Multiple organ failure
- With severe lung infections
- Other circumstances that the investigator determines are not suitable for participation in this study
