Diagnosis of gastro-oesophageal reflux in preterm infants: sonography vs. pH-monitoring.

abstract：OBJECTIVES:Strategies for oxygen therapy for preterm infants, such as the Vermont-Oxford's 'Breathsavers' guidelines, seek to strike a balance between the potential risks of the extremes of hyperoxia and hypoxia in preterm infants. Using an algorithm based on those guidelines, we aimed to compare the proportion of time...
