Abstract
In a double-blind, randomized study, 500 premature infants were treated with plasminogen or placebo i.v. within 60 min of birth. There was a substantial decrease in severe clinical respiratory distress, death caused by hyaline membrane disease, and total mortality in the plasminogen-treated infants as compared to the controls.
