We aimed to determine whether the use of remote infant viewing (RIV) in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) differed based on maternal sociodemographic factors.
The number of RIV camera views and view duration were obtained for NICU patients between 10/01/2019 and 3/31/2021 and standardized relative to patient days. Maternal sociodemographic and neonatal characteristics were obtained from institutional databases.
Families in which mothers were unmarried (aOR 1.42, 95% CI 1.03-1.95), did not require an interpreter (aOR 2.86, 95% CI 1.54-5.32), were multiparous (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.16-2.10), delivered prior to 37 weeks' gestation (aOR 1.57, 95% CI 1.17-2.12), or resided ≥50 miles from the NICU (aOR 1.38, 95% CI 1.02-1.87) were significantly more likely to use RIV.
Family use of RIV in the NICU varied by multiple sociodemographic factors. Further investigation to understand and to address potential equity gaps revealed or created by RIV are warranted.
我们旨在确定新生儿重症监护病房（NICU）中远程婴儿探视（RIV）的使用是否因产妇社会人口因素而异。
在 2019 年 10 月 1 日至 2021 年 3 月 31 日期间，我们获得了 NICU 患者的 RIV 摄像机视图数量和观看时间，并将其标准化为患者天数。产妇社会人口统计学和新生儿特征从机构数据库中获得。
母亲未婚的家庭（aOR 1.42，95%CI 1.03-1.95）、不需要翻译的家庭（aOR 2.86，95%CI 1.54-5.32）、多胎妊娠的家庭（aOR 1.56，95%CI 1.16-2.10）、妊娠 37 周前分娩的家庭（aOR 1.57，95%CI 1.17-2.12）或居住距离 NICU ≥50 英里的家庭（aOR 1.38，95%CI 1.02-1.87）更有可能使用 RIV。
家庭在 NICU 中使用 RIV 的情况因多种社会人口因素而异。有必要进一步调查，以了解和解决 RIV 揭示或造成的潜在公平差距。
