Outcomesa | Unadjusted OR (95% CI) | aOR (95% CI) | |
---|---|---|---|
Model 1b | Model 2c | ||
Moderate to severe BPD or death | 1.17 (1.12-1.22) | 1.16 (1.10-1.21) | 1.10 (1.04-1.16) |

Death prior to 36 wk PMA | 1.11 (0.99-1.24) | 1.04 (0.92-1.18) | 1.00 (0.87-1.14) |
Death before hospital discharge | 1.12 (1.01-1.25) | 1.08 (0.96-1.21) | 1.04 (0.91-1.18) |
Abbreviations: aOR, adjusted odds ratio; BPD, bronchopulmonary dysplasia; OR, odds ratio; PMA, postmenstrual age.
Logistic regression models were used to analyze the categorical variables.
Adjusted for gestational age, birthweight, small for gestational age, sex, multiple pregnancy, maternal age, gestational diabetes, gestational hypertension, preeclampsia or eclampsia, antenatal corticosteroids use, and magnesium sulfate use.
Adjusted for same variables as model 1 plus Apgar score, intubation in delivery room, treatment with surfactant, nitric oxide, patent ductus arteriosus requiring pharmacological treatment, and mechanical ventilation treatment in 7 days after birth.
