Objective: The purpose of this study was to evaluate the demographic characteristics and outcomes of neonates who were admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit and treated with inhaled nitric oxide (iNO) during the years 2000-08. The goal of studying this group of neonates was to evaluate how iNO use has evolved in infants and to estimate the frequency of off-label use of this drug in this population.Study Design: Retrospective review of the Pediatrix Clinical Data Warehouse de-identified data set. Pediatrix Medical Group provides intensive care services in 244 hospitals in 32 states and Puerto Rico. Nine (3.7%) centers provide extracorporeal membrane oxygenation.Result: There were 494 255 neonates in the data set; 4316 (0.9%) were treated with iNO. The use of iNO increased from 154 of 32 967 patients in 2000 to 921 of 75 911 patients in 2008; a 2.6-fold increase (0.47 to 1.23%). There were 155 872 infants
