The aim of this study is to evaluate perinatal and postnatal factors that influence LOS in preterm infants (25\u201333\u2009weeks of gestation) admitted to participating NICUs of Indian National Neonatal Collaborative (INNC).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>From the INNC database, the data which were prospectively entered using uniformed pre\u2010defined criteria were analysed.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A total of 3095 infants were included from 12 centres.

The median LOS for infants with gestational age of 25, 26, 27, 28, 29, 30, 31, 32 and 33\u2009weeks were 86, 70, 62, 52, 40, 30, 23, 16 and 10\u2009days, respectively. On multivariate analysis, abnormal antenatal umbilical artery doppler, severe small for gestational age (SGA), requirement of resuscitation, respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), seizures, sepsis, necrotising enterocolitis (NEC), major malformations and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) increased LOS by 5.4 (3.5\u20137.4), 21.6 (19\u201323.9), 4.7 (3.3\u20136.1), 3 (1.7\u20134.3), 15.2 (8.5\u201322.1), 11.2 (9.1\u201313.2), 9.8 (5.2\u201314.4), 8.8 (4.4\u201313.3) and 5.6 (0.5\u201310.7) days, respectively.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Apart from lower gestation and birth weight, abnormal antenatal umbilical artery doppler, severe SGA, resuscitation need, major malformations, RDS, seizures, sepsis, NEC and BPD influenced LOS in preterm infants.
