  • Use of O2, use of oxygen postdischarge (this include all discharged for home oxygen).

  • *Treatment effect.

  • †Linear regression analysis.

  • ‡Logistic regression analysis.

  • §Developmental levels were determined in terms of the DQ18 scores, which were either computed or inferred (if developmental testing was unfeasible or unnecessary).

  • ¶Ordered logistic regression analysis.

  • DQ18, developmental quotient at 18 months of corrected age.
