a

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.

b

Fail as per the New Jersey-recommended algorithm.
