Surfactant parameters associated with surfactant recovery. A, SP-B content vs surfactant recovery. Mean values of 2–5 TA collections are shown for 94 treated infants: r=0.50, p=<0.00001. Results were similar for SP-B normalized to PL (r=0.38, p=0.0002). B, Total protein in surfactant vs surfactant recovery. Mean values of 2–5 TA collections are shown for 107 treated infants: r=0.39, p=<0.001. C, Distribution of PL between large aggregate and small aggregate surfactant vs surfactant recovery. Data are for individual TA samples from 14 treated (squares) and 17 control (circles) infants and show that an increasing percentage of total PL is associated with large aggregate surfactant as recovery increases.
