jamanetwork (2024-01-23). Outcomes After Minimally Invasive Surfactant Therapy in Preterm Infants—Reply. jamanetwork.com In Reply Regarding our recent article reporting the 2-year outcomes after MIST in preterm infants, Drs Liu and Shi inquire why the BSID-IV was not used for assessment of neurodevelopmental disability. The explanation is that the BSID-IV was published in 2019, which was 5 years after the follow-up assessments were commenced for our study. We do not agree that the PARCA-R, which was used for 83% of our follow-up assessments, is unreliable; evaluation of its performance suggests the opposite. The subjectivity of a parent report of their child's abilities is unquestioned, but the potential influence of this on the fi…

jamanetwork (2024-01-23). E-Cigarettes and FDA Nicotine Cap. jamanetwork.com To the Editor The proposal to cap nicotine concentrations in combustible cigarettes is based on sound scientific evidence that cigarettes with very low levels of nicotine will significantly reduce smoking- and tobacco-related harm. However, we believe that a proposal presented in a recent Viewpoint for a federal nicotine cap on e-cigarettes is misguided and runs contrary to current evidence. The focus on e-liquid nicotine concentrations alone is problematic because these restrictions fail to consider that e-cigarettes, unlike cigarettes, offer users ways beyond nicotine concentrations to control nicotine delivery…
