The mean ± standard deviation (SD) was reported; . values were obtained by using Fisher’s exact chi-square test, chi-square test, Student’s t-test and Mann–Whitney U-test. Abbreviations: PMA: postmenstrual age; PNA: postnatal age; NRDS: neonatal respiratory distress syndrome; SGA: small for gestational age; BPD: bronchopulmonary dysplasia; NEC: necrotizing enterocolitis.
