We appreciate the opportunity to respond to the comments by Shalish and Sant'Anna regarding our publication in which the factors associated with failed elective extubation among extremely premature infants were described. The study was a secondary analysis of the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network's "Surfactant, Positive Pressure, and Oxygenation Randomized Trial" that included extremely preterm infants born at 240/7 to 276/7 weeks of gestation.
