Data are shown as adjusted risk ratios (95% confidence interval). Regression risk ratios for gestational age are reported relative to a reference group of ≥37-week gestation infants. Risk ratios were determined by using a modified Poisson regression model with a robust between-cluster variance estimator with a random intercept for hospital. Race/ethnicity categories were excluded from the model after they were found to not have a statistically significant influence on the probability of ever receiving an H2RA or PPI.
