Replication Data for: Inter-rater reliability of the Silverman and Andersen index

Background
There are various methods of respiratory support available to optimize respiratory function in preterm infants. Respiratory scoring tools might provide information on which method to choose and the level and duration of support needed. Before implementing a respiratory scoring tool in our clinical practice, we aimed to test the inter- and intra-rater reliability of the Silverman and Andersen index (SA index) among neonatologists and nurses when applied to preterm infants on respiratory support. We also examined the association between the SA index and the electrical activity of the diaphragm (Edi signals).
