Table 3.
Rates and Relative Risks of Death before Assessment at 18 to 22 Months or Neurodevelopmental Impairment at 18 to 22 Months of Corrected Age in the Lower-Oxygen-Saturation and Higher-Oxygen-Saturation Groups.*
| Variable | Lower Oxygen Saturation | Higher Oxygen Saturation | Adjusted Relative Risk (95% CI) | P Value |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| number/total number (percent) | ||||
| Primary outcome determined | 612/654 (93.6) | 622/662 (94.0) | 1.00 (0.97–1.03) | 0.79 |
| Death or NDI | 185/612 (30.2) | 171/622 (27.5) | 1.12 (0.94–1.32) | 0.21 |
| Death before assessment at 18–22 mo of corrected age | 140/633 (22.1) | 118/648 (18.2) | 1.25 (1.00–1.55) | 0.046 |
| NDI | 45/472 (9.5) | 53/504 (10.5) | 0.87 (0.60–1.28) | 0.49 |
| BSID-III cognitive score <70 | 34/471 (7.2) | 38/503 (7.6) | 0.91 (0.58–1.43) | 0.69 |
| GMFCS score ≥2 | 26/479 (5.4) | 23/511 (4.5) | 1.17 (0.68–2.01) | 0.56 |
| Moderate or severe cerebral palsy | 20/479 (4.2) | 20/511 (3.9) | 1.00 (0.54–1.83) | >0.99 |
| Bilateral blindness | 5/479 (1.0) | 6/511 (1.2) | 0.90 (0.28–2.90) | 0.86 |
| Hearing impairment | 12/479 (2.5) | 12/511 (2.3) | 1.16 (0.54–2.49) | 0.70 |
Relative risks and P values were adjusted for stratification factors (study center and gestational-age group) and familial clustering; analyses of blindness were not adjusted for study center, owing to the small number of patients with this characteristic.
