Unless otherwise indicated, data are the number of patients, with percentages in parentheses. OR odds ratio, TPN total parenteral nutrition, and PMA postmenstrual age. a Data are adjusted odds ratio with 95% confidence intervals in parentheses. Odds ratio adjusted by gestational age, HFOV support, preoperative platelet counts, and the interval between first detection of complex ascites or focal fluid collection on US and laparotomy. b Data are the median and interquartile range. c Data are the estimate with the standard error in parentheses. d The p values are from Fisher’s exact test. e The p values are from a Student’s t-test or Wilcoxon rank sum test, as appropriate. f The p values are from logistic or linear analysis, as appropriate.
