EUNO 2009.

Methods Multi‐centre trial
Participants 800 infants between 24 weeks' and 28 weeks' gestation and 6 days enrolled at less than 24 hours of age. If intubated, they had to have received surfactant and could be enrolled if on CPAP requiring > 30% oxygen. Patients were ineligible if they required more than 50% O2 to maintain saturation over 85% on a mean airway pressure ≥ 8 cmH2O.
Interventions Inhaled NO at 5 ppm for at least 7 and a maximum of 21 days
Outcomes Primary outcome was survival without BPD at 36 weeks' postmenstrual age. Secondary outcome was survival without severe brain injury on head ultrasonography.
Notes  
Risk of bias
Bias Authors' judgement Support for judgement
Random sequence generation (selection bias) Low risk Computer generated
Allocation concealment (selection bias) Low risk Centralised interactive Web‐based enrolment and randomisation system
Blinding (performance bias and detection bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Masking of intervention: yes
Masking of outcome assessment: yes
Incomplete outcome data (attrition bias) 
 All outcomes Low risk Completeness of follow‐up: yes
Selective reporting (reporting bias) Low risk Registered trial, primary outcomes reported
Other bias Low risk
