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.
