(A) Comparisons of the proportions of patients with and without mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) in their tracheal aspirates in the first week of life who went on to develop post-prematurity respiratory disease (PPRD) and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) (Fisher exact test). (B) Receiver operating characteristic curves demonstrate the sensitivity and specificity of accurately identifying premature infants who go on to develop PPRD on the basis of the presence of MSCs in their tracheal aspirates in the first week of life or diagnosis of BPD, after controlling for days on mechanical ventilation, days receiving supplemental O2, and covariates. AUC = area under the curve.
