Outcomes for small defect subgroup (type A/B)
| Pneumothorax group (n=4) | Control group (n=5) | P value | |
| Highest pCO2 at 1 hour of birth* | 53 [42, 57] | 41 [39, 74] | 1.00 |
| Use of nitric oxide† | 4 (100) | 1 (20) | 0.01 |
| Use of ECLS† | 4 (100) | 1 (20) | 0.01 |
| Duration of ventilation (days) | 20 [18, 97] | 9 [7, 15] | 0.08 |
| Survival to discharge† | 3 (75) | 5 (100) | 0.24 |
P-value ≤0.05 is considered statistically significant.
