From: Pneumothorax in newborns: a cohort study from three NICUs
Incidence, timing, chest tube placement, and key risk factors are shown. Independent associations included delivery room (DR) CPAP in infants ≥35 weeks (aOR = 2.38), small for gestational age (SGA) in 29–34 weeks (aOR = 3.81), and DR intubation in ≤28 weeks (aOR = 4.78). The overall pneumothorax rate was 0.53%. No significant difference was observed before vs. after bubble-CPAP (b-CPAP) implementation (0.35% vs. 0.41%; aOR = 0.85, P = 0.35).
