The infant mortality rate in England and Wales was nearly double that in Sweden (4·36 deaths per 1000 live births, 95% CI 4·19–4·52vs2·45, 2·31–2·59), resulting in 1238 excess deaths (95% CI 1100–1377).
We tested a related variable (clinically relevant increase in apnoea or bradycardia, oxygen requirement, ventilatory support, or respiratory rate); however, this variable was not associated with mortality. The use of respiratory support level as a parameter could affect the performance of the model....
