METABOLIC/HEARING SCREENING FOR EARLY DISCHARGED INFANTS: A POPULATION-BASED STUDY. |[dagger]| 1569
1996
In a population-based study of the approximately 15,000 births in New Hampshire, we have previously reported an increased risk of readmission to hospital (50%) and Emergency Room visits (70%) within the first two weeks of life for infants discharged at less than 48 hours of life. To address additional concerns regarding appropriate metabolic screening/hearing evaluation all 26 N.H. hospitals with maternity services were surveyed. Questionnaires were sent to Chiefs of Pediatrics and Nurse Managers and were returned by all. A second survey was sent to practicing physicians(pediatrician/family practioner) and 31.4% were returned.
