The Difference

In Reply.— We appreciate the interest and continuing contributions of Drs Pfenninger and Tschaeppeler. We agree with their assessment that the difference in mortality rates is probably attributable to selection differences. All five of their infants would have been excluded from our series, since proven sepsis and documented persistent pulmonary hypertension were both among the criteria for exclusion. As we noted in our article, the low mortality in our series was not surprising because of such exclusions.
