Comparison of neonatal pulmonary complications in patients with and without AC treatment

	AC Treatment Group (n = 197)	Controls (n = 255)	P value
Pulmonary Adverse Outcome, n (%)	34 (17.3)	51 (20.1)	0.448
RDS, n (%)	20 (10.2)	28 (11.0)	0.777
CPAP requirement, n (%)	27 (13.7)	38 (14.9)	0.719
MV requirement, n (%)	21 (10.7)	28 (11.0)	0.902

Neonatal Adverse Pulmonary Outcome was composed of postnatal Respiratory Distress Syndrome, neonatal Continuous Positive Airway Pressure and fetuses requiring mechanical ventilation. Fetuses who received CPAP and mechanical ventilation support and developed RDS were included in the analysis as single patients

RDS Respiratory Distress Syndrome, CPAP Continuous Positive Airway Pressure, MV Mechanical ventilation
