To examine risk factors for mortality among preterm infants during newborn and subsequent hospitalizations, and whether they differ by race/ethnicity.
We conducted a cross-sectional analysis using the 2016 Kids Inpatient Database. Hospitalizations of preterm infants were categorized as "newborn" for birth admissions, and "post-newborn" for all others. Multivariate logistic regression was performed to calculate associations of mortality with sociodemographic factors.
Of 285915 hospitalizations, there were 7827 (2.7%) deaths. During newborn hospitalizations, adjusted OR (aOR) of death equaled 1.14 (95% CI 1.09-1.20) for males, 68.73 (61.91-76.30) for <29 weeks GA, and 0.81 (0.71-0.92) for transfer. Stratified by race/ethnicity, aOR was 0.69 (0.61-0.71) for Medicaid only among black infants. During post-newborn hospitalizations, death was associated with transfer (aOR 5.02, 3.31-7.61).
Risk factors for death differ by hospitalization types and race/ethnicity. Analysis by hospitalization types may identify risk factors that inform public health interventions for reducing infant mortality.
探讨新生儿期和随后住院期间早产儿死亡的危险因素,并分析这些危险因素是否因种族/民族而异。
我们使用 2016 年儿科住院患者数据库进行了一项横断面分析。早产儿的住院被分为“新生儿”(出生时入院)和“新生儿后”(其他所有住院)。采用多变量逻辑回归计算死亡率与社会人口统计学因素的相关性。
在 285915 例住院中,有 7827 例(2.7%)死亡。在新生儿住院期间,男性死亡的调整比值比(aOR)为 1.14(95%CI 1.09-1.20),胎龄<29 周的 aOR 为 68.73(61.91-76.30),而转院的 aOR 为 0.81(0.71-0.92)。按种族/民族分层,只有黑人婴儿的医疗补助 aOR 为 0.69(0.61-0.71)。在新生儿后住院期间,死亡与转院有关(aOR 为 5.02,3.31-7.61)。
死亡的危险因素因住院类型和种族/民族而异。对住院类型进行分析可以确定危险因素,为降低婴儿死亡率的公共卫生干预措施提供信息。
