Benefits of Oxygen Saturation Targeting Trials: Oximeter Calibration Software Revision and Infant Saturations

It has been reported in the 3 Benefits of Oxygen Saturation Targeting (BOOST-II) trials that changes in oximeter calibration software resulted in clearer separation between the oxygen saturations in the two trial target groups. A revised analysis of the published BOOST-II data does not support this...

Description
Summary:It has been reported in the 3 Benefits of Oxygen Saturation Targeting (BOOST-II) trials that changes in oximeter calibration software resulted in clearer separation between the oxygen saturations in the two trial target groups. A revised analysis of the published BOOST-II data does not support this conclusion.
