We identified all newborns admitted to an IH hospital within 28 days of discharge and recorded their birth hospital, age, reason(s) for admission, length of stay, and inpatient costs.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>During the study period, 296\u2009114 infants were discharged from IH hospital WBNs. Of these, 5308 (17.9\/1000) were readmitted within 28 days of discharge. Of the 5308 infants who were readmitted, 41% had feeding problems, 35% had jaundice, and 33% had respiratory distress. The majority of newborns with feeding problems and jaundice were admitted in their first 2 weeks of life. Late preterm and early term newborns had higher rates of readmission than term infants. There were significant variations in readmission rates of newborns born at the 21 hospitals in the IH system.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Potentially preventable conditions, including feeding problems and jaundice, account for most early readmissions of newborns. Late preterm and early term newborns have higher rates of readmission and should be assessed for other factors associated with early readmission.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2012-2634","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2013,4,8]],"date-time":"2013-04-08T20:47:49Z","timestamp":1365454069000},"page":"e1538-e1544","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":103,"title":["Early Readmission of Newborns in a Large Health Care System"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"131","author":[{"given":"Paul C.","family":"Young","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kent","family":"Korgenski","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, and"},{"name":"Intermountain Healthcare, Pediatric Specialty Clinical Program, Salt Lake City, Utah"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Karen F.","family":"Buchi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah School of Medicine, Salt Lake City, Utah, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2013,5,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"2","key":"2021120900093310000_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"405","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2009-3119","article-title":"Hospital stay for healthy term newborns.","volume":"125","author":"American Academy of Pediatrics.
