The influence of the thermal environment upon the survival of newly born premature infants

The influence of two contrasting environmental temperatures upon time survival rates of premature infants in the first 5 days of life was studied. Infants who were placed in incubators with an air tamperature of 31.7°C (89°F) had a higher survival rate than controls who were in incubators maintained...

Zusammenfassung:The influence of two contrasting environmental temperatures upon time survival rates of premature infants in the first 5 days of life was studied. Infants who were placed in incubators with an air tamperature of 31.7°C (89°F) had a higher survival rate than controls who were in incubators maintained at 28.9°C (84°F). In this clinical trial a sequential, matched-pairs plan was used to evaluate the differences in survival under the two study conditions.
