75 4 Comparison of two AOCs in oxygen targeting in preterm infants during admission Table 1. Baseline characteristics of recordings >72 hours while supplemental oxygen administered Patient characteristics n = 186 Oxygenie n=75 CLiO2 n=111 p value* Gestational age in weeks days, median [IQR] 270 [253 – 275) 266 [254 – 280] n.s. Birth weight in grams, mean (SD) 934 (239) 901 (215) n.s. Small for gestational age, n (%) 8 (10.7) 8 (7.2) n.s. Males, n (%) 42 (56.0) 52 (46.8) n.s. Antenatal corticosteroids, n (%) 66 (88.0) 94 (84.7) n.s. Caesarean delivery, n (%) 36 (48.0) 63 (56.8) n.s. Multiple pregnancy, n (%) 26 (34.7) 42 (37.8) n.s. Recording length in hours, median [IQR] 336 [186 – 598] 398 [165 – 693] n.s. FiO2, fraction of inspired oxygen; CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure; *Mann-Whitney U test, independent T-test or chi-square test as appropriate Baseline characteristics for the secondary analysis population also did not differ between epochs (Table 2). Median recording length of vital parameters was 490 hours [IQR 350 – 747] in the OxyGenie epoch and 520 [IQR 321 – 751] in the CLiO2 epoch (p = ns). Table 2.
