demonstrating safety and feasibility in more than 200 premature infants for durations up to 72 hours.
The CRADL study was not a study of “more than 200 premature infants.” The published multicenter study enrolled 200 patients ranging from 25 weeks postmenstrual age to 36 months, including neonates and young children, for monitoring up to 72 hours.
Full reasoning
This sentence overstates and misstates the CRADL evidence base.
The published multicenter study associated with this work reports 200 patients, not "more than 200," and the cohort was not limited to premature infants. The PubMed abstract states that the study included patients with postmenstrual ages between 25 weeks and 36 months and describes the population as "neonates and young children". It also reports recordings for up to 72 hours.
So the accurate takeaway is that long-term EIT monitoring was studied in 200 neonates and young children (including, but not limited to, preterm infants), not in more than 200 premature infants specifically.
