Predictors of successful trial off continuous positive airway pressure and high flow nasal cannula in preterm infants <30 weeks' gestation: A retrospective study.

Objectives: To identify the predictors of successful first trial off nasal continuous positive airway pressure (nCPAP).

Methods: A retrospective cohort study of infants ≤29 weeks' gestation who required nCPAP for >24 h was conducted. Logistic regression was used to detect predictors for successful trial off nCPAP.
