From: A trial comparing continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) devices in preterm infants
From March 24th, 2017 to January 5th, 2019, a total of five NICUs screened 330 infants who met the inclusion criteria, of whom 309 were eligible and 21 were excluded. The caregivers of 25 infants were not approached for informed consent, the caregivers of 46 did not provide consent, and six caregivers provided consent, but the infant did not undergo randomization after failing to extubate within 72 h of life. A total of 232 infants were randomized and enrolled. CPAP denotes continuous positive airway pressure.
