Early Readmission of Newborns in a Large Health Care System

Abstract: Potentially preventable conditions, including feeding problems and jaundice, account for most early readmissions of newborns. Late preterm and early term newborns have higher rates of readmission and should be assessed for other factors associated with early readmission.

“…In a recent study, we found that the rate of readmissions of term and late preterm newborns within the first month after discharge from 21 WBNs was 17.9 per 1000 live births. 9 The most common diagnoses associated with readmissions were feeding problems (41%), jaundice (35%), respiratory distress (33%), "rule out sepsis" (24%), and infection (28%). Of note, readmissions for feeding problems and jaundice were heavily concentrated in the first 1 to 2 weeks after discharge; the others were evenly distributed over the month.…”

“…Of note, readmissions for feeding problems and jaundice were heavily concentrated in the first 1 to 2 weeks after discharge; the others were evenly distributed over the month. 9 In this article, we report the results of a study from a large health care system with .79 000 newborns over an 11-year period. The study had 2 objectives: first, to determine the frequency of and factors associated with newborns having their first outpatient visit within the recommended time frame; second, to examine whether those babies who had a visit within the early visit time period were less likely to be readmitted in the first month of life.…”

“…Term-born children 28 may also develop FED, and some of these children may be predisposed to FED because of biological factors, 28 such as congenital malformations or being small for gestational age (SGA). 29 It has been suggested that different risk mechanisms may be involved at different neonatal ages; these mechanisms may vary according to the stage of development and may be related to the sensorimotor development related to feeding, eating, and the processes of individuation and self-regulation of the child.…”

“…[1][2][3] Limiting analysis of hospitalization and emergency department (ED) visits to 30 days will not capture potentially important episodes of infant health care utilization that occur after this time period. During the first year of life, 4.4% to 9.5% of term infants are rehospitalized, with Medicaid patients being at increased risk compared with those with private insurance.…”

“…9 The causes of newborn rehospitalization may be contextual based on discharge policies, systems of care, and social determinants. 10 Many studies of newborn rehospitalization have focused on specific populations, including infants receiving NICU care, 8 surgery for congenital heart disease, 11 and late preterm 2 or early term 12 infants. Most studies have not comprehensively evaluated important maternal factors, including mental health, medication use, and maternal ED use, which may contribute to infant admission or ED utilization.…”
