Impact of Social Determinants on Home Oxygen Therapy Duration in Preterm Infants: A Study Utilizing the Childhood Opportunity Index
In a multicenter cohort of infants with PPRD discharged on HOT, low COI, and Black maternal race were not associated with an increased risk for prolonged oxygen use when following a protocoled weaning approach. Further research is needed to assess if standardized HOT management mitigates SDoH-related disparities in oxygen duration.
