To determine whether social deprivation is associated with neonatal unit admission.
English district general hospital.
Retrospective review of neonatal unit admission records between 1990 and 2002.
There was a linear increase in admission rates with increasing deprivation. The admission rate was 6.1% of live births for infants in the most affluent quartile compared with 11.1% for those in the most deprived quartile. Admission rates for all indications except jaundice and feeding problems increased with increasing deprivation.
Social deprivation correlates strongly with neonatal morbidity and the need for neonatal unit admission. This finding has implications for professionals in public health and primary and secondary care.
确定社会剥夺与新生儿病房收治情况是否相关。
英国地区综合医院。
回顾性分析1990年至2002年期间新生儿病房收治记录。
随着社会剥夺程度加剧，收治率呈线性上升。最富裕四分位数组的婴儿活产收治率为6.1%，而最贫困四分位数组为11.1%。除黄疸和喂养问题外，所有指征的收治率均随社会剥夺程度加剧而上升。
社会剥夺与新生儿发病率及新生儿病房收治需求密切相关。这一发现对公共卫生以及初级和二级医疗保健领域的专业人员具有启示意义。
