. The role of race in late preterm respiratory morbidity has not been adequately described. We aimed to determine whether neonatal respiratory morbidity differs between Black and White late preterm infants. . Single-centre retrospective cohort study at King's College Hospital NHS Foundation Trust, London, UK of infants born at 34 to <37 weeks of gestational age. The incidence of invasive ventilation was used as the main outcome. . In the study period 354 Black and 673 White late preterm infants were admitted. Black, compared to white infants, had a lower incidence of invasive ventilation (19% vs 27%, < .001) and a lower incidence of non-invasive ventilation (22% vs 34%, < .001). Black infants had a shorter duration and cost of stay compared to White infants ( = .011 and <0.001 respectively). . Black late preterm infants needed less frequently invasive and non-invasive ventilation and had a shorter duration and cost of stay compared to White late preterm infants.
种族在晚期早产儿呼吸疾病中的作用尚未得到充分描述。我们旨在确定黑人与白人晚期早产儿的新生儿呼吸疾病是否存在差异。
在英国伦敦国王学院医院国民保健服务信托基金进行的单中心回顾性队列研究，研究对象为孕周34至<37周出生的婴儿。有创通气的发生率被用作主要结局指标。
在研究期间，共收治了354名黑人晚期早产儿和673名白人晚期早产儿。与白人婴儿相比，黑人婴儿有创通气的发生率较低（19%对27%，<0.001），无创通气的发生率也较低（22%对34%，<0.001）。与白人婴儿相比，黑人婴儿的住院时间更短，住院费用更低（分别为P = 0.011和P<0.001）。
与白人晚期早产儿相比，黑人晚期早产儿需要有创和无创通气的频率更低，住院时间更短，住院费用更低。
