PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 100 days or discharge from hospital

Population: Unable to determine efficacy due to low enrollment

Number of subjects without ureaplasma spp at 100 days after study entry or at hospital discharge in subjects receiving therapy

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: 100 days or discharge from hospital

Population: Unable to determine Pharmacokinetics (PK) data due to low enrollment

Pharmacokinetic measures (AUC12) of subjects receiving azithromycin who had eradication of ureaplasma spp.at either day 100 or discharge day which ever comes first.

Outcome measures

Outcome data not reported

PRIMARY outcome

Timeframe: from day 1 of study drug through 100 days or discharge from hospital, which ever comes first

SECONDARY outcome

Timeframe: from baseline to 100 days or discharge from Hospital, which ever comes first

Absence of Ureaplasma spp infection is determined by the total number of days with positive pressure ventilation, (conventional ventilation or nasal continuous positive pressure) and oxygen therapy. The mean number of days was used to compare the two treatment groups.
