This Series introduces the concept of prematurity-associated lung disease and its distinct phenotypes as a unifying framework for future research. Over the past four decades, survival rates for preterm infants have improved dramatically due to major advances in neonatal care. However, there are important research gaps in terms of long-term outcomes, lung function trajectories, and management after preterm birth, as well as an underrepresentation of low-income and middle-income populations. By reframing prematurity-associated lung disease as a continuum that begins before birth and evolves throughout life, this Series underscores the urgent need for long-term follow-up and treatment, early detection, and integrated models of care to ensure that the population of people who were born preterm not only live, but breathe well, across the lifespan.
