Objective The early abnormal pulmonary vasoreactivity observed in babies at risk of Bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) increases the pulmonary vascular resistance. This can be assessed non‐invasively using Time to Peak Velocity:Right Ventricular Ejection Time ratio (TPV:RVET) measured from pulmonary artery Doppler waveform obtained using echocardiogram. We postulate that screening for this early can predict BPD in this cohort. The objective of the study was to determine the utility of TPV:RVET in early prediction of BPD in Extremely Low Birth Weight (ELBW) babies born less than 1250grams Birth Weight. Methods This was a single‐center retrospective cohort study of ELBW babies born<29 weeks over 4 year period who had echocardiogram between 7‐21 days of life. TPV:RVET ratio was measured from pulmonary artery Doppler waveform obtained using echocardiogram. The main outcome was BPD at 36 weeks corrected gestation. The predictive ability of TPV:RVET (cut off 0.34) for subsequent development of BPD was analyzed using ROC. Results Of 589 ELBW<29 weeks, 207 babies were eligible. BPD was found in 60.4%. The TPV:RVET at 0.34 had sensitivity 76.8% (95%CI 68.4–83.9), specificity 85.4% (95%CI 75.8–92.2), positive predictive value 88.9% (95%CI 81.4–94.1), negative predictive value 70.7% (95%CI 60.7–79), and ROC area 0.811 (95%CI 0.757–0.864). Odds ratio of having BPD for TPV:RVET at 0.34 was 19.9 (95%CI 8.19–48.34) and increased by 1.07 (95%CI 1.05–1.09) with every additional days of mechanical ventilation. TPV:RVET ratio had 92.75% inter‐observer agreement with kappa 0.83. Conclusion TPV:RVET ratio is a good and reliable early screening tool for subsequent development of BPD in ELBW babies with substantial inter‐observer agreement.
