Dr. Bates has been invited to present her work on long-term outcomes in survivors of prematurity at the Pediatric Academic Societies meeting in Philadelphia on May 4th, 2020. She will share the platform with renowned physician-scientists including Anne-Monique Nuyt, Kara Goss, Philip Levy, Adam Lewandoski, and Patrick McNamara. Together, this group is dedicated to defining how prematurity, and the interventions we use to care for these tiny babies, impact cardiovascular development and increase the long-term risk of cardiovascular disease.
Prematurity is a historically recent phenomenon and these children only began surviving prematurity on a large scale in the early 1990s when surfactant became available. We still have so much to learn about how these children grow and develop into adulthood and Dr. Bates is excited to share some of her findings with the pediatrics community!
