<h4>Objective</h4>To determine rates of gastrostomy (GT) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.<h4>Study design</h4>Retrospective, cross-sectional analysis of the Kids' Inpatient Database for the years 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009 and 2012. We identified VLBW births and infants undergoing a GT, with and without fundoplication, using ICD-9-CM codes.<h4>Result</h4>National rates (per 1000 VLBW births) of GT increased from 11.5 GT (95% CI 10-13) in 2000 to 22.9 (95% CI 20-25) in 2012 (p < 0.001).

Project description:Red blood cell (RBC) transfusions in very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants, while common, carry risk. Our objective was to determine clinical predictors of and trends in RBC transfusions among VLBW infants.RBC transfusion practice and its clinical predictors in 1,750 VLBW (?1,500?g) infants were analyzed in a single-center cohort across sequential epochs: 2000-2004 (Epoch 1), 2005-2009 (Epoch 2), and 2010-2013 (Epoch 3).Overall, 1,168 (67%) infants received ?1 transfusions. The adjusted likelihood of ?1 transfusions decreased for each 1-g/dl increment in initial hemoglobin concentration following birth, for females, and for each 100-g increment in birth weight. The adjusted likelihood of ?1 transfusions increased with infants receiving mechanical ventilation, with increasing length of hospital stay, necrotizing enterocolitis, and nonlethal congenital anomalies requiring surgery. The adjusted mean (SEM) number of transfusions per patient was decreased in Epoch 3, compared with Epoch 1 and Epoch 2. For an initial hemoglobin of ?16.5?g/dl, the predicted probability of being transfused was ?50%.Adjusted RBC transfusions declined and female sex conferred an unexplained protection over the study period. Modest increases in initial hemoglobin by placentofetal transfusion at delivery may reduce the need for RBC transfusion.

Project description:To determine the association between direct costs for the initial neonatal intensive care unit hospitalization and 4 potentially preventable morbidities in a retrospective cohort of very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (birth weight <1500 g).The sample included 425 VLBW infants born alive between July 2005 and June 2009 at Rush University Medical Center. Morbidities included brain injury, necrotizing enterocolitis, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, and late-onset sepsis. Clinical and economic data were retrieved from the institution's system-wide data and cost accounting system. A general linear regression model was fit to determine incremental direct costs associated with each morbidity.After controlling for birth weight, gestational age, and sociodemographic characteristics, the presence of brain injury was associated with a $12048 (P = .005) increase in direct costs; necrotizing enterocolitis, with a $15 440 (P = .005) increase; bronchopulmonary dysplasia, with a $31565 (P < .001) increase; and late-onset sepsis, with a $10055 (P < .001) increase. The absolute number of morbidities was also associated with significantly higher costs.This study provides collective estimates of the direct costs incurred during neonatal intensive care unit hospitalization for these 4 morbidities in VLBW infants. The incremental costs associated with these morbidities are high, and these data can inform future studies evaluating interventions aimed at preventing or reducing these costly morbidities.

Project description:ImportanceThrombocytopenia and intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) are common among very-low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants. Survey results suggest that US neonatologists frequently administer platelet transfusions to VLBW infants with mild to moderate thrombocytopenia.ObjectivesTo characterize platelet transfusion practices in US neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), to determine whether severity of illness influences platelet transfusion decisions, and to examine the association between platelet count (PCT) and the risk for IVH in the first 7 days of life.Design, setting, and participantsThis multicenter, retrospective cohort study included 972 VLBW infants treated in 6 US NICUs, with admission dates from January 1, 2006, to December 31, 2007. Data were collected from all infants until NICU discharge or death (last day of data collected, December 4, 2008). Data were entered into the central database, cleaned, and analyzed from May 1, 2009, to February 11, 2016.InterventionPlatelet transfusion.Main outcomes and measuresNumber of platelet transfusions and incidence of IVH.ResultsAmong the 972 VLBW infants (520 [53.5%] male; mean [SD] gestational age, 28.2 [2.9] weeks), 231 received 1002 platelet transfusions (mean [SD], 4.3 [6.0] per infant; range, 1-63 per infant). The pretransfusion PCT was at least 50 000/μL for 653 of 998 transfusions (65.4%) with this information. Two hundred eighty-one transfusions (28.0%) were given during the first 7 days of life. During that period, platelet transfusions were given on 35 of 53 days (66.0%) when the patient had a PCT less than 50 000/μL and on 203 of 436 days (46.6%) when the patient had a PCT of 50 000/μL to 99 000/μL. At least 1 marker of severe illness was present on 198 of 212 patient-days (93.4%) with thrombocytopenia (PCT, <100 000/μL) when a platelet transfusion was given compared with 113 of 190 patient-days (59.5%) with thrombocytopenia when no platelet transfusion was given. Thrombocytopenia was a risk factor for intraventricular hemorrhage during the first 7 days of life (hazard ratio, 2.17; 95% CI, 1.53-3.08; P < .001). However, no correlation was found between severity of thrombocytopenia and risk for IVH. After controlling for significant clinical factors and thrombocytopenia, platelet transfusions did not have a significant effect on the incidence of IVH (hazard ratio, 0.92; 95% CI, 0.49-1.73; P = .80).Conclusions and relevanceA large proportion of platelet transfusions were given to VLBW infants with PCT greater than 50 000/μL. Severity of illness influenced transfusion decisions. However, the severity of thrombocytopenia did not correlate with the risk for IVH, and platelet transfusions did not reduce this risk.

Project description:The objective of this analysis was to explore temporal and spatial variation in teen birth rates TBRs across counties in the USA, from 2003 to 2012, by using hierarchical Bayesian models. Prior examination of spatiotemporal variation in TBRs has been limited by the reliance on large-scale geographies such as states, because of the potential instability in TBRs at smaller geographical scales such as counties. We implemented hierarchical Bayesian models with space-time interaction terms and spatially structured and unstructured random effects to produce smoothed county level TBR estimates, allowing for examination of spatiotemporal patterns and trends in TBRs at a smaller geographic scale across the USA. The results may help to highlight US counties where TBRs are higher or lower and to inform efforts to reduce birth rates to adolescents in the USA further.

Project description:Importance:Human milk confers important health benefits to very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants (?1500 g). The extent to which the use of human milk has changed over time and the factors associated with human milk use nationally in this population are poorly understood. Objectives:To describe US trends in the provision of human milk at hospital discharge for VLBW infants during the past decade according to census region and maternal race/ethnicity, quantify associations of census region and maternal race/ethnicity with the provision of human milk at hospital discharge, and examine regional and state variations in any provision of human milk at hospital discharge among racial/ethnic groups. Design, Setting, and Participants:A cohort study was conducted of 346?248 infants, born at 23 to 29 weeks' gestation or with a birth weight of 401 to 1500 g, who were cared for at 802 US hospitals in the Vermont Oxford Network from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2017. The US census region was categorized as West, Midwest, Northeast, and South (reference). Maternal race/ethnicity was categorized as non-Hispanic white (reference), non-Hispanic black, Hispanic, Asian and Pacific Islanders, and Native American. Main Outcomes and Measures:Any provision of human milk at hospital discharge, defined as the use of human milk as the only enteral feeding or the use of human milk in combination with fortifier or formula. Results:Of the 346?248 infants in the study (172 538 boys and 173 710 girls), 46.2% were non-Hispanic white, 30.1% were non-Hispanic black, 18.3% were Hispanic of any race, 4.7% were Asian and Pacific Islanders, and 0.8% were Native American. Any provision of human milk at hospital discharge increased steadily among all infants, from 44% in 2008 to 52% in 2017. There were increases across all US census regions and racial/ethnic groups. Any provision of human milk at hospital discharge was higher in the West (among singleton births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 1.32; 95% CI, 1.25-1.39; among multiple births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 1.28; 95% CI, 1.21-1.35) and Northeast (among singleton births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.04-1.19; among multiple births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 1.11; 95% CI, 1.04-1.19), compared with the South, and was higher among Asian mothers (among singleton births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 1.21; 95% CI, 1.18-1.25; among multiple births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 1.12; 95% CI, 1.09-1.15) and lower among Hispanic (among singleton births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.98; 95% CI, 0.96-1.01; among multiple births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.88; 95% CI, 0.86-0.91), Native American (among singleton births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.64; 95% CI, 0.59-0.70; among multiple births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.59; 95% CI, 0.50-0.69), and non-Hispanic black mothers (among singleton births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.67; 95% CI, 0.65-0.70; among multiple births: adjusted prevalence ratio, 0.57; 95% CI, 0.54-0.60), compared with non-Hispanic white mothers. These results were robust to adjustment for birth year and infant characteristics. Wide regional and state variations were found in any provision of human milk at hospital discharge. Conclusions and Relevance:Overall prevalence of any provision of human milk at hospital discharge among VLBW infants has steadily increased during the past decade. Disparities by US region and race/ethnicity in the provision of human milk exist and have not diminished over time.

Project description:ImportanceReduced death and neurodevelopmental impairment among infants is a goal of perinatal medicine.ObjectiveTo assess the association between surgery during the initial hospitalization and death or neurodevelopmental impairment of very low-birth-weight infants.Design, setting, and participantsA retrospective cohort analysis was conducted of patients enrolled in the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network Generic Database from 1998 through 2009 and evaluated at 18 to 22 months' corrected age. Twenty-two academic neonatal intensive care units participated. Inclusion criteria were birth weight 401 to 1500 g, survival to 12 hours, and availability for follow-up. A total of 12 111 infants were included in analyses.ExposuresSurgical procedures; surgery also was classified by expected anesthesia type as major (general anesthesia) or minor (nongeneral anesthesia).Main outcomes and measuresMultivariable logistic regression analyses planned a priori were performed for the primary outcome of death or neurodevelopmental impairment and for the secondary outcome of neurodevelopmental impairment among survivors. Multivariable linear regression analyses were performed as planned for the adjusted mean scores of the Mental Developmental Index and Psychomotor Developmental Index of the Bayley Scales of Infant Development, Second Edition, for patients born before 2006.ResultsA total of 2186 infants underwent major surgery, 784 had minor surgery, and 9141 infants did not undergo surgery. The risk-adjusted odds ratio of death or neurodevelopmental impairment for all surgery patients compared with those who had no surgery was 1.29 (95% CI, 1.08-1.55). For patients who had major surgery compared with those who had no surgery, the risk-adjusted odds ratio of death or neurodevelopmental impairment was 1.52 (95% CI, 1.24-1.87). Patients classified as having minor surgery had no increased adjusted risk. Among survivors who had major surgery compared with those who had no surgery, the adjusted risk of neurodevelopmental impairment was greater and the adjusted mean Bayley scores were lower.Conclusions and relevanceMajor surgery in very low-birth-weight infants is independently associated with a greater than 50% increased risk of death or neurodevelopmental impairment and of neurodevelopmental impairment at 18 to 22 months' corrected age. The role of general anesthesia is implicated but remains unproven.
