Results:
Out of 125 infants, 116 were included in the analysis. Forty-five
infants were discharged without diuretics; 52 infants were discharged
with diuretics that were actively weaned; 19 infants were discharged
with diuretics that were passively weaned. Infants who were passively
weaned spent the most time on home oxygen (median 28 weeks, IQR 16-52;
p=0.011); there were no differences in home oxygen duration in infants
actively weaned (median 13 weeks, IQR 10-26) versus not on diuretics
(median 22 weeks, IQR 12-30, p=0.285). Multivariable adjustment for
other illness characteristics associated with duration of home oxygen
did not change this finding.
