Infants on supplemental oxygen were deemed conditional passes if saturations <95%, yet differential <4% and saturations were consistent with clinical profile. Rescreening only performed as per the modified arm of the algorithm. Percentage is of all infants on oxygen who passed the screen.
Fail as per the New Jersey-recommended algorithm.
