Abstract
We enrolled 98 infants (gestational age <33 weeks) in a pilot randomized trial of antibiotics vs no antibiotics; 55 were randomized (lower maternal infectious risk; symptoms expected for gestation). Adverse events did not differ significantly between the randomization arms. This trial establishes a framework for a larger multicentered trial.
