OBJECTIVES: Evaluate the association between maternal social factors and maternal time spent in the NICU for very preterm infants admitted to 4 level III and IV NICUs. METHODS:In this prospective observational cohort study, we enrolled mother-infant dyads whose infants were born <32 weeks' gestation. Enrollment occurred after 2 weeks of NICU exposure, when maternal social factors and demographic information was collected. Maternal time spent in the NICU was abstracted from the electronic medical record and was dichotomized into 0 to 6 days and $6 days per week. Demographic differences between the 2 groups were compared by using v 2 tests. Logistic regression was used to assess the independent association between maternal social factors and the average number of days per week spent in the NICU.
