The infants spent less time in hospital (median 5\u2003days vs. 28\u2003days, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.0001), a smaller proportion had treatment for NAS (14% vs. 79%, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.0001), and NMU admission was reduced (median 14\u2003days vs. 26\u2003days, <jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.0003). Neonatal convulsions (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.0001) and jaundice (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003&lt;\u20030.001) occurred less frequently, and more infants were breastfed (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2003=\u20030.001). One infant in each study group had a cleft palate and none had microcephaly. Child health checks for 18\u201324\u2003months showed a favourable outcome in 1997\u20132001.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> We altered antenatal care and modified neonatal management, subsequently infants spent less time in hospital and NMU admissions were reduced with less NAS treatment. Congenital abnormalities and microcephaly were not common and as regular child health checks were possible, the impact of the DLM service in shared management merits further investigation, for mother\u2013infant bonding and developmental outcome.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1365-2214.2006.00635.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2006,6,6]],"date-time":"2006-06-06T21:30:47Z","timestamp":1149629447000},"page":"206-212","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":15,"title":["Methadone\u2010exposed newborn infants: outcome after alterations to a service for mothers and infants"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"33","author":[{"given":"J.","family":"Miles","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"K.","family":"Sugumar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"F.","family":"Macrory","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"D.
