Extremely preterm infants and term infants accounted for 47% and 24% of cases, respectively, with marked regional variation in gestational age distribution. Among 410 registered term infants, neurological disorders (43%) and chromosomal abnormalities (19%) were the most common underlying conditions. With increasing age, the proportion of extremely preterm infants decreased, whereas that of term infants increased. In a subgroup analysis of 805 extremely preterm infants, invasive mechanical ventilation at 36\u2009weeks' postmenstrual age was independently associated with persistent registration within the chronic disease support program (odds ratio 3.16, 95% CI 1.81\u20135.52;\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&lt;\u20090.001).\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This nationwide registry study demonstrates that registry\u2010defined CLD in Japan represents a heterogeneous population, including a substantial number of term infants with diverse comorbidities.
