Our aim was to compare outcomes between each level.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n METHODS:<\/jats:title>\n Using hospital discharge data from 2005 to 2011 in New York\u2019s State Inpatient Database, we performed multivariate analyses to compare outcomes that included total cost of hospitalization, length of stay, 30-day readmission rate after IP, and the number of cases of death, exchange transfusion, and \u03b3 globulin infusion. We included term newborns treated with IP in their first 30 days of life and without diagnosis codes for other critical illnesses. Explanatory variables included level of care, sex, race, insurance type, presence or absence of hemolysis, hospital, volume of IP performed at each hospital, and year of hospitalization.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n Ninety-nine percent of IP was delivered in non-ICU levels of care. Incidence of major complications was rare (\u22640.1%). After adjusting for confounders, ICU level of care was not associated with difference in length of stay (relative risk: 1.2; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.91 to 1.15) or 30-day readmission rate (odds ratio: 0.74; 95% CI: 0.50 to 1.09) but was associated with 1.51 (95% CI: 1.47 to 1.56) times higher costs.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n For otherwise healthy term newborns with jaundice requiring IP, most received treatment in a non-ICU level of care, and those in intensive care had no difference in outcomes but incurred higher costs. IP guideline authors may want to be more prescriptive about IP level of care to improve value.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/hpeds.2018-0136","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,1]],"date-time":"2019-02-01T14:27:29Z","timestamp":1549031249000},"page":"115-120","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":7,"title":["Phototherapy for Neonatal Unconjugated Hyperbilirubinemia: Examining Outcomes by Level of Care"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Eric Herschel","family":"Fein","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Harbor\u2013University of California Los Angeles Medical Center, Torrance, California;"},{"name":"Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, Torrance, California;"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Scott","family":"Friedlander","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, Torrance, California;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Yang","family":"Lu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Care Administration, California State University of Long Beach, Long Beach, California;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Youngju","family":"Pak","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, Torrance, California;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rie","family":"Sakai-Bizmark","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, Torrance, California;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Lynne M.","family":"Smith","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Harbor\u2013University of California Los Angeles Medical Center, Torrance, California;"},{"name":"Los Angeles Biomedical Research Institute, Torrance, California;"},{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of California, Los Angeles, Los Angeles, California;"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Caroline J.","family":"Chantry","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of California, Davis, Sacramento, California; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Paul J.","family":"Chung","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Health Systems Science, Kaiser Permanente School of Medicine, Pasadena, California"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120817053199700_B1","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
