Popis: This study determined outcomes at 12-months adjusted age of 957 infants weighing more than 1250 gm at birth who were subjects in a randomized, double-blind, controlled trial of synthetic surfactant or air placebo administered in a rescue trial at 23 hospitals in the United States and 13 hospitals in Canada. Follow-up results were available for 475 of 563 surviving infants who received air placebo (84%) and 482 of 571 infants who received synthetic surfactant (84%). Developmental outcome was equivalent in the two groups. Morbidity was less in the synthetic surfactant group as assessed by the need for medication for chronic lung disease (52 of 475 [11%] for the air placebo group vs 32 of 482 [7%] for the synthetic surfactant group) or respiratory support (10 of 475 [2%] for the air placebo group vs 1 of 482 [ EDIATR 1995;126:S75-80)
