  1. For quantitative variables, we indicate the mean ± standard deviation, while for qualitative variables, we indicate the count and percentage (relative to the total number of patients having that particular variable observed)
  2. Abbreviations: GA Gestational age, BW Birth weight, ANCS Antenatal corticosteroids, EOI Early onset infection [38], BPD Bronchopulmonary dysplasia [11], PH Pulmonary hypertension [28, 29], ROP Retinopathy of prematurity [33]
  3. * Statistically significant difference between cohorts after Bonferroni correction (adjusted p-value < 0.05)
  4. The differences between cohort was assessed using Mann-Whitney U test
  5. 2 The differences between cohort was assessed using chi-squared test
