This CURLISPAP study was a multicenter, randomized controlled study at six level III neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in Turkey. The protocol was approved by the ethics committee of each participating centre and Turkish Ministry of Health, Turkish Medicines and Medical Devices Agency. Non invasive ventilated preterm infants with respiratory distress syndrome and gestational age from 241/7 weeks to 296/7 weeks were enrolled within 6 h of birth. Infants with major congenital malformations, need of mechanical ventiation, need of entubation in delivery room and lack of parental consent were excluded. Enrolled infants will randomize into two study groups (NIPPV group and CPAP group). The short binasal prongs will use as interface. For all the groups, if the fraction of inspired oxygen (FiO2) requirement is persistently higher than 0.30 target SpO2 90-94%. For all groups Surfactant by "LISA" technique and with special catheter (LISAcath, Chiesi Pharmaceutics) of surfactant (Curosurf, Chiesi Pharmaceutics) 200 mg/kg. The primary end-point, need of mechanical ventilation within 72 hours following surfactant treatment, will compared between the groups. Short and long-term neonatal outcomes will also evaluate.
