Significant racial and ethnic disparities exist in birth outcomes and complications related to
prematurity. However, little is known about racial and ethnic variations in health outcomes …

The purpose of this study is to synthesize evidence on risk factors associated with newborn
31-day unplanned hospital readmissions (UHRs). A systematic review was conducted …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: Late preterm birth (at 34–36 6/7 weeks' gestation) is a
risk factor for early breastfeeding cessation. The objective of this study was to determine …

Objective To assess risk factors associated with 30-day hospital readmission after a
prolonged neonatal intensive care stay. Study design Retrospective analysis of 57,035 …

OBJECTIVE Late preterm infants have an increased risk of morbidity relative to term infants.
We sought to determine the rate, temporal trend, risk factors, and reasons for 30-day …

Objective Most literature on length of stay (LOS) for childbirth focuses on 'early'discharge as
opposed to 'optimal'time of discharge and has conflicting results due to heterogeneous …

BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: In the first year of life, the rate of rehospitalization for
infants has been shown to be between 4.4% and 9.5%. Reducing avoidable health care …

Background Gaining a better understanding of the probability, timing and prediction of
rehospitalisation amongst preterm babies could help improve outcomes. There is limited …

The scope of practice for newborn care in nonintensive hospital settings is ever changing,
with obstetric care advances, shorter length of stay (LOS), and increased family-centered …

Objective To test the hypothesis that newborn infants cared for in hospitals with greater
utilization of neonatal intensive care experienced fewer postdischarge adverse events …
