Abbreviation: HR, hazard ratio.

a

Adjusted for presence or absence of obstructive airway disease at randomization and study site.

b

Sample sizes larger than original group sizes because patients could switch treatment and receive high-flow oxygen or standard oxygen.

c

Associated with an interaction term and derived from an adjusted model.

d

Defined as a discharge diagnosis of reactive airway disease, asthma, or bronchiolitis.

e

Restricted to children aged 1 to 4 years (n = 1487).

f

Derived from the Wald test and an adjusted model.
