Table 2.
Baseline characteristics of the 11 neonates who did (BPD+) and the 16 neonates who did not (BPD−) develop BPD. Gender and race were compared using Fisher’s exact test. Gestational age and birth weight were compared using the Mann-Whitney U Test. No significant difference was found between BPD+ and BPD− groups. Data represent the mean ± SD or the frequency (%).
