Center A had the lowest rate of treatment and was used as the reference. OR indicates odds ratio; CI, confidence interval.
Values are median of the lowest MAP value on the first day of treatment.
Any treatment represents administration of vasopressor and/or normal saline solution bolus of >10 mL/kg.
Adjusted for gestational age, birth weight z score, gender, Hispanic ethnicity, fetal number, and SNAP-II score.
Vasopressor treatment represents dopamine, dobutamine, and/or epinephrine treatment.
Adjusted for gestational age, birth weight z score, gender, fetal number, and SNAP-II score.
