Abbreviations: AGA, average for gestational age; GA, gestational age; SGA, small for gestational age.

Note: For FIO2, p values were obtained using Wilcoxon rank sum tests adjusting for gestational age. For length of hospitalization, a Poisson model assuming an interaction between treatment and GA group was used to obtain p values. The model controlled for GA.
