Mean heart rate in beats per minute, respiratory rate in breaths per minute and oxygen saturation in percent, with standard deviations and the difference between allocations with 95% confidence intervals and p-values per GA and BW strata and for the infants who later died. BW=birth weight, CI=confidence interval, GA=gestational age, SD=standard deviation.
