Unlike the extent of research in preterm neonates, risk factors associated with incidence and severity of NRDS in term neonates are not well studied. In this study, we examined the association of maternal and neonatal risk factors with the incidence and severity of NRDS in term neonates admitted to Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) in Cyprus.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>In a prospective, case-control design we recruited term neonates with NRDS and non-NRDS admitted to the NICU of Archbishop Makarios III hospital, the only neonatal tertiary centre in Cyprus, between April 2017\u2013October 2018. Clinical data were obtained from patients\u2019 files. We used univariate and multivariate logistic and linear regression models to analyse binary and continuous outcomes respectively.<\/jats:p>\n              <\/jats:sec><jats:sec>\n                <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                <jats:p>During the 18-month study period, 134 term neonates admitted to NICU were recruited, 55 (41%) with NRDS diagnosis and 79 with non-NRDS as controls. In multivariate adjusted analysis, male gender (<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic>: 4.35, 95% CI: 1.03\u201318.39, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.045) and elective caesarean section (<jats:italic>OR<\/jats:italic>: 11.92, 95% CI: 1.80\u201378.95, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.01) were identified as independent predictors of NRDS. Among neonates with NRDS, early-onset infection tended to be associated with increased administration of surfactant (<jats:italic>\u03b2<\/jats:italic>:0.75, 95% CI: \u2212\u20090.02-1.52, <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\u2009=\u20090.055).
