Risk factors and clinical outcomes of extubation failure in very early preterm infants: a single-center cohort study.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Early extubation success (ES) in preterm infants may reduce various mechanical ventilation-associated complications; however, extubation failure (EF) can cause adverse short- and long-term outcomes. Therefore, the present study aimed to identify differences in risk factors and clinical outcomes between ES and EF in very early preterm infants.

Methods

This retrospective study was conducted between January 2017 and December 2021. Premature infants born at 32 weeks' gestational age in whom extubation had failed at least once were assigned to the EF group. Successfully extubated patients with a similar gestational age and birth weight as those in the EF group were assigned to the ES group. EF was defined as the need for re-intubation within 120 h of extubation. Variou
