Inequities in prenatal neonatology consultation in high-mortality neonatal populations
To explore inequities in prenatal consultation and parental resuscitation decisions across high-mortality conditions. We conducted a retrospective chart review of pregnant people whose liveborn neonates were diagnosed with high-mortality conditions. We examined two cohorts: periviable infants (22 0/7–24 6/7 weeks) and infants with severe congenital anomalies. A total of 194 neonates met eligibility criteria for the periviable cohort, 197 for the congenital anomaly cohort. In the periviable cohort, 94% of White vs. 81% of Black pregnant people received neonatology consultation (p = 0.009). A total of 96% of those with commercial insurance vs. 82% of those with Medicaid received consultation (p = 0.005). Half of Hispanic pregnant people did not receive neonatology consultation (p = 0.02). In the congenital anomaly cohort, pregnant people who spoke a language other than English were less likely to receive consultation (44% vs. 81%, p = 0.02). This regional assessment found previously unrecognized inequities in prenatal neonatology consultation.
