Description
Patrick Jacobsen Westphal and eight co-authors wrote a 2026 letter to a journal editor about infants with a viral chest infection. The letter answers comments on their earlier study of nose-tube air support. The question was which babies in intensive care are likely to fail on that support.
The authors explain why age was left out of their main model. In babies under two years, age moved too closely with weight and starting airflow to separate the three. Weight stood in as a mark of how mature the body is. They also note that babies who failed the treatment were younger, and they share the share of babies born early in their group. The exchange helps doctors judge which infants need closer watch on this support.
