Support required in transit
| ANNP led | Doctor led | |
|---|---|---|
| Data are either median (range) or number (%). Data on maximum respiratory support refer to infants on ventilation. Data on infusion numbers, inotrope use, blood pressure monitoring and transcutaneous gas monitoring refer to percentage of all transfers. There are no significant differences between the groups (Mann-Whitney U test). | ||
