Demographic characteristics of Mothers of sedated infants (Infant ADR) and those whose infants were did not report any changes in health status (asymptomatic). Statistical significance was set at P<0.05. Parametric values are presented as mean ± standard deviation and nonparametric values are presented as median (range).
