Inpatient costing records were obtained for 753 infants, of whom 676 were included in the per-protocol analysis. Two scenarios were considered: (1) CPAP versus nHF, with infants in the nHF group having “rescue” CPAP backup available (trial scenario); and (2) CPAP versus nHF, as sole primary support (hypothetical scenario). Effectiveness outcomes were rate of endotracheal intubation and transfer to a tertiary-level NICU. Results: As sole primary support, CPAP is more effective and on average cheaper, and thus is superior. However, nHF with back-up CPAP produced equivalent cost and effectiveness results, and there is no reason to make a decision between the 2 treatments on the basis of the cost or effectiveness outcomes. Conclusions: Nontertiary special care nurseries choosing to use only 1 of the modes should choose CPAP. In units with both modes available, using nHF as first-line therapy may be acceptable if there is back-up CPAP.]]> Thu 13 Apr 2023 09:38:48 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:50964 Mon 14 Aug 2023 15:18:35 AEST ]]> https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:38591 Fri 21 Jan 2022 09:14:23 AEDT ]]>
