Logistic regressions clustered by subject and adjusted for age in months at the time of visit, presence of supplemental oxygen, presence of home ventilation, small for gestational age status, insurance status, and any inhaled corticosteroid use between 0–2 years of age. Only data obtained prior to 24 months of age was utilized.
