Significats de synthetic surfactant en anglès

However, less is known about the effects of synthetic surfactant on developmental outcome and long-term morbidity.

These follow-up data confirm that developmental outcome as determined at 12-months adjusted age is at least as good in those receiving synthetic surfactant.

A total of 118 patients who received air placebo and 114 patients who received synthetic surfactant were evaluated at 1 year.

Follow-up results were available for 475 of 563 surviving infants who received air placebo (84%) and 482 of 571 infants who received synthetic surfactant (84%).

Synthetic surfactant has been shown to reduce neonatal and 1-year mortality and neonatal morbidity in infants with respiratory distress syndrome.
