About

This study was designed to analyze whether initiation of the NICHD Neonatal Research Network SUPPORT trial was followed by a change in frequency of endotracheal intubation the delivery room in non-participants and whether these changes were associated with changes in management and outcomes.

The investigators hypothesized that the investigators would observe following the initiation of the SUPPORT trial a 33% reduction in the rate of intubation in the delivery room among non-participants preterm infants at Parkland Memorial Hospital.
