Association of gastrostomy placement on hospital readmission in premature infants.


ABSTRACT: OBJECTIVE:We sought to determine the association of gastrostomy placement on post-NICU-discharge resource utilization in premature infants. STUDY DESIGN:We performed a propensity-matched retrospective cohort study of NICU infants born under 32-week gestation in US Children's Hospitals. Multivariable logistic regression and propensity score-matching were used to determine the association of gastrostomy placement on 90-day hospital readmissions and emergency department visits adjusting for salient patient characteristics. RESULT:A total of 12,621 premature infants were included of which 697 (5.5%) underwent gastrostomy placement. After propensity matching, infants who underwent gastrostomy placement have a higher rate of 90-day inpatient readmission (41.9 vs 26.3%, p?
