Abbreviation: HR, hazard ratio.
Adjusted for presence or absence of obstructive airway disease at randomization and study site.
Sample sizes larger than original group sizes because patients could switch treatment and receive high-flow oxygen or standard oxygen.
Associated with an interaction term and derived from an adjusted model.
Defined as a discharge diagnosis of reactive airway disease, asthma, or bronchiolitis.
Restricted to children aged 1 to 4 years (n = 1487).
Derived from the Wald test and an adjusted model.
