Abstract

ICNs i n Vermont and New Hampshire were c l a s s i f i e d by month and weekday of admission. Mean b i r t h weight and gestational age were similar by month and day. No monthly pattern other than chance distribution f o r admissions and mortality was detected. However, admissions were distributed by day of the week i n a pattern which differed s i g n i f i c a n t l y (p=0.004) from chance.
