OverviewPreterm birth is associated with an increased risk of respiratory complications that can have serious consequences also in the middle- and long-term. Recently, increasing awareness has emerged that chronic lung disease of prematurity (CLDP) may persist throughout the lifespan, representing the earliest and most prolonged chronic respiratory disease. Since CLDP represents a continuum of different diseases, including airway obstruction, alveolar and pulmonary vascular underdevelopment, which may not all be present in all patients at all times, it has been recently proposed that the novel treatable trait approach described for adult airway disease can also be applied to CLDP, guiding a precision medicine approach to its management across the lifespan. Definition, identification, and treatment of the treatable traits as early as possible can change the disease trajectory.It is important to cover this topic because there is often a lack of communication and poor knowledge sharing between:neonatologists who are aware of the early origins of CLPD but often do not consider the long-term consequences of this condition;paediatricians and paediatric pulmonologists who follow up and manage children with CLPD;adult pulmonologists who often ignore the early origins of their patient's chronic conditions.Educational aims:The webinar aims to:Introduce the concept of treatable traits to neonatologists and paediatric pulmonologists, with particular focus on those caring subjects born preterm, and to explore how this approach can be applied in childhood and adolescence.Increase awareness among adult pulmonologists of the specific respiratory and extra-pulmonary treatable traits that characterise adults born preterm with chronic lung disease, and how these differ from other chronic airway diseases.Demonstrate how defining respiratory and extra-pulmonary treatable traits can support the development of personalised, structured and multidisciplinary follow-up pathways, promoting a holistic, patient-centred approach across the lifespan.Topics:Respiratory treatable traits in preterm-born individuals in the pediatric ageWhat is known about treatable traits in patients with respiratory diseases in general, treatable traits in preterm-born individuals in adult age, and comparison between the conditionsExtrapulmonary treatable traits of former preterm infants: how to structure a multidisciplinary follow-up programmeFormatOne-hour webinar structured as follows:Opening remarks - Introduction by Chairs (2 min)Presentation 1: Respiratory treatable traits in preterm-born individuals in the paediatric age - Marielle Pijnenburg (14 min)Presentation 2: Respiratory treatable traits in preterm-born individuals in the adult age - Rosa Faner (14 min)Presentation 3: Extrapulmonary treatable traits of former preterm infants - Luca Bonadies (14 min)Live Q&A and round table - moderated by Chairs (15 min)Wrap-up (1 min)Learning outcomesFollowing this webinar, participants will be able to:Integrate knowledge of early-life aetiology, endotypes and developmental mechanisms to interpret long-term lung function trajectories and respiratory outcomes in individuals with chronic lung disease of prematurity.Incorporate respiratory and extra-pulmonary comorbidities into a unified, lifespan-oriented clinical assessment framework.Apply the treatable traits approach to identify, prioritise and manage modifiable traits in routine clinical practice.Implement strategies to enhance coordination and handover between neonatal, paediatric and adult respiratory services, and develop structured, multidisciplinary follow-up pathways tailored to individuals born preterm.CME creditAn application for accreditation of this webinar has been made to the European Board for Accreditation in Pneumology (EBAP) for 1 CME credit per 1-hour attendance. If accredited, the CME credit will be granted upon attendance of at least 60 minutes during the live webinar only.What is a webinar?A webinar closely simulates a lecture-based teaching experience. The speaker can interact with the audience, just as in a classroom setting. During the webinar, you will be asked to share your opinion on issues related to the topic using interactive polls.All participants will be able to hear the lecturer and see the slides throughout the presentation. As a participant you will be able to pose questions or discuss ideas with the other participants via the text chat facility and the speaker will respond to the questions via the microphone.
