Abstract

Objective: Describe how preterm infants experience residential mobility, or moving, before age 2 years.

Study design: This retrospective cohort study included 9267 preterm infants followed in a mid-Atlantic urban and suburban primary care network. Multivariable regression modeling identified patient and community factors associated with residential mobility, defined by a change in Census Block Group.

Results: 2494 infants (27%) moved before age 2 years; 559 (6%) moved more than once. Extreme prematurity, compared to late prematurity, was associated with increased odds of mobility (aOR 1.26, 95% CI 1.03-1.54). Governmental insurance, male sex, a positive or missing post-partum depression screen, and neighborhood deprivation were also positively associated with mobility. Among movers, 741 (30%) first relocated before 6 months of age, and mobility rates decreased with increasing chronologic age.

Conclusion: Early-life residential mobility is common among preterm infants, particularly extremely preterm infants. These findings have implications for discharge preparation among this vulnerable group.

早产儿父母居住流动的患病率、预测因素和模式。

目的：描述早产儿在2岁之前如何经历居住流动性或移动。研究设计：这项回顾性队列研究包括9267名早产儿，随访于大西洋中部城市和郊区初级保健网络。多变量回归模型确定了与居住流动性相关的患者和社区因素，由人口普查街区组的变化定义。结果：2494名婴儿（27%）在2岁前搬家；559人（6%）不止一次搬家。与晚期早产相比，极端早产与活动几率增加相关（aOR 1.26, 95% CI 1.03-1.54）。政府保险、男性、产后抑郁症筛查阳性或缺失以及邻里剥夺也与流动性呈正相关。在迁居者中，741人（30%）在6个月前首次迁居，迁居率随着年龄的增长而下降。结论：早产儿，尤其是极早产儿，早期居住流动性普遍存在。这些发现对这一弱势群体的出院准备具有启示意义。
