Lung ultrasound (LUS) was performed between 1 and 9 postnatal weeks. All ultrasound studies were done assessing three lung zones on each lung. Each zone was given a score between 0 and 3. A receiver operating characteristic curve was constructed to assess the ability of LUSsc to predict CLD.<\/jats:p>\n                  <jats:p>Results\u2003We studied 27 infants at a median (interquartile range [IQR]) gestational age and birth weight of 26 weeks (25\u201329) and 780\u2009g (530\u20131,045), respectively. Median (IQR) postnatal age at the time of LUS studies was 5 (2\u20138) weeks. Fourteen infants who developed CLD underwent 34 studies. Thirteen infants without CLD underwent 30 studies. Those who developed CLD had a higher LUSsc than those who did not (median [IQR] of scores: 9 [6\u201312] vs. 3 [1\u20134], p\u2009&lt;\u20090.0001). An LUSsc cutoff of 6 has a sensitivity and specificity of 76 and 97% and positive and negative predictive values of 95 and 82%, respectively.
