Table 1 Comparison of characteristics for infants in FIC and matched control group

	FIC infants (n = 31)	Matched controls (n = 62)
Characteristics	n (%)	n (%)	p-value¹
Gestational age (wk), mean (SD)	27.5 (2.4)	27.7 (2.6)	0.31
Birth weight (g), mean (SD)	1106 (419)	1061 (389)	0.11
Age at enrolment (days), mean (SD)	30.8 (20.7)	N/A	N/A
Corrected gestational age at enrolment (weeks), mean (SD)	31.9 (2.1)	N/A	N/A
Small for gestational age	3 (9.7)	9 (14.5)	0.45
Singleton n (%)	22 (71.0)	39 (62.9)	0.47
Apgar score <7 at 5 min	6 (19.4)	7 (11.3)	0.28
Apgar score <7 at 1 min	16 (51.6)	34 (54.8)	0.74
SNAPII score >20	6 (19.4)	13 (21.0)	0.85
Days on oxygen, median (IQ range)	36 (2–61)	19 (4–61)	0.79
Days on CPAP, median (IQ range)	41 (13–55)	41 (25–55)	0.44
Days on ventilation, median (IQ range)	2 (0–6)	5 (1–11)	0.31
Surfactant administration	23 (74.2)	48 (77.4)	0.71
Caffeine administration	29 (93.5)	55 (88.7)	0.34

Notes: Data are for total hospital stay. ¹A conditional logistic regression method accounting for matched case-control data was used. The Mantel-Haeszel test was also applied for categorical data. The results from both methods were consistent. CPAP, continuous positive airway pressure; FIC, family integrated care; IQ, interquartile range; N/A, not applicable; SD, standard deviation; SNAPII, score of neonatal acute physiology version II.
