Abstract

Objective: To estimate inter-center variation (ICV) in hospital length of stay (LOS) and oral feeding at discharge among infants with gastroschisis.

Study design: The Children's Hospitals Neonatal Consortium's (CHNC) database was used to identify hospitalized survivors with gastroschisis. Two outcomes were evaluated: LOS and discharge without tube feedings. Hospital outcomes were evaluated in unadjusted and adjusted analyses. Generalized linear models with log link for gamma distribution were used to model LOS and logistic regression for discharge without tube feeds.

Results: For 3987 surviving infants with gastroschisis, LOS and discharge within 70 days with exclusively oral feeding both exhibited significant ICV. Differences persisted in multivariable analyses. Risk-adjusted LOS (68% difference) and oral feeding at discharge (6.4-fold difference) varied significantly between centers.

Conclusion: Hospital of care was independently associated with LOS and exclusive oral feeding at discharge rates for infants with gastroschisis. Management differences, potentially influenced by parental preferences, contributed to variation.

期刊介绍： The Journal of Perinatology provides members of the perinatal/neonatal healthcare team with original information pertinent to improving maternal/fetal and neonatal care. We publish peer-reviewed clinical research articles, state-of-the art reviews, comments, quality improvement reports, and letters to the editor. Articles published in the Journal of Perinatology embrace the full scope of the specialty, including clinical, professional, political, administrative and educational aspects. The Journal also explores legal and ethical issues, neonatal technology and product development. The Journal’s audience includes all those that participate in perinatal/neonatal care, including, but not limited to neonatologists, perinatologists, perinatal epidemiologists, pediatricians and pediatric subspecialists, surgeons, neonatal and perinatal nurses, respiratory therapists, pharmacists, social workers, dieticians, speech and hearing experts, other allied health professionals, as well as subspecialists who participate in patient care including radiologists, laboratory medicine and pathologists.
