Each case infant (n\u2009=\u2009130) was matched to two control infants (n\u2009=\u2009260) on the case infant's date of birth (\u00b17 days) and the mother's maternal age (&lt;20 years, 20\u201329, 30\u201339, and &gt;39 years). All infants were selected from a cohort of eligible term, healthy, in-state infants admitted to the newborn unit postdelivery from January 1, 2016 to May 8, 2017. Data were analyzed using hierarchical conditional logistic regression.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Results\u2003The incidence of neonatal readmission was 2.2%, and all readmissions occurred within 8.6 days of birth. Earlier gestational age (37 weeks; odds ratio [OR]: 4.11, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.79\u20139.45; 38 weeks OR: 1.29, CI 0.60\u20132.75; [ref] 39 weeks), jaundice on day two of life (OR: 2.45; CI: 1.40\u20134.30), maternal group B streptococcus chemoprophylaxis (OR: 2.55; CI: 1.23\u20135.28 [Ref N\/A]) were associated with readmission. Delivery by cesarean section (OR: 0.31, CI: 0.12\u20130.79) and each milliliter of formula [first three days] (OR: 0.96; CI: 0.993\u20130.999) were protective.<\/jats:p><jats:p>\n          Conclusion\u2003Neonatal readmission in healthy term infants may potentially be reduced with identification of modifiable determinants of readmission prior to discharge. Policies to capture the true incidence of neonatal readmissions should include admissions to hospitals other than the birth hospital.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1055\/s-0040-1702936","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,3]],"date-time":"2020-03-03T00:01:20Z","timestamp":1583193680000},"page":"1078-1087","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":11,"title":["Determinants of Neonatal Readmission in Healthy Term Infants: Results from a Nested Case\u2013Control Study"],"prefix":"10.1055","volume":"38","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0003-3480-3373","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Angelita M.","family":"Hensman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Women and Infants Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island"},{"name":"Bio Med Pediatric Department, Brown University, Providence, Rhode Island"},{"name":"College of Nursing, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhode Island"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Debra A.","family":"Erickson-Owens","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, Women and Infants Hospital, Providence, Rhode Island"},{"name":"College of Nursing, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhode Island"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Mary C.","family":"Sullivan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Nursing, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhode Island"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Brian J.","family":"Quilliam","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"College of Health Sciences, University of Rhode Island, Kingston, Rhode Island"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2020,3,2]]},"reference":[{"issue":"04","key":"ref1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"352","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-3016.2001.00374.x","article-title":"Rehospitalisation for neonatal jaundice: risk factors and outcomes","volume":"15","author":"A M Geiger","year":"2001","journal-title":"Paediatr Perinat Epidemiol"},{"issue":"01","key":"ref2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"15","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.jp.7210586","article-title":"Hidden morbidity with \u201csuccessful\u201d early discharge","volume":"22","author":"P Radmacher","year":"2002","journal-title":"J Perinatol"},{"issue":"04","key":"ref3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e864","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2007-1214","article-title":"Readmission for neonatal jaundice in California, 1991-2000: trends and implications","volume":"121","author":"A E Burgos","year":"2008","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"issue":"05","key":"ref4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e1538","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2012-2634","article-title":"Early readmission of newborns in a large health care system","volume":"131","author":"P C Young","year":"2013","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"issue":"02","key":"ref5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"125","DOI":"10.1136\/adc.2003.039974","article-title":"Rehospitalisation after birth hospitalisation: patterns among infants of all gestations","volume":"90","author":"G J Escobar","year":"2005","journal-title":"Arch Dis Child"},{"key":"ref6","first-page":"1","volume-title":"Births: Final data for 2016.
