To quantify immunization status among premature infants discharged from neonatal intensive care units (NICUs), and identify risk factors for underimmunization.
We performed a cohort study of infants <33 weeks gestation discharged home between 2011 and 2020 from 241 NICUs. Using multivariable logistic regression, we examined the association between risk factors and underimmunization at discharge, defined as <1 dose of 5 vaccine types when discharged at 60-119 days of age and <2 doses when discharged at 120-179 days of age.
Of 30,766 infants discharged at 60-119 days of age, 14% were underimmunized. Among 4358 infants discharged at 120-179 days of age, 53% were underimmunized. For infants discharged at 60-119 days of age, ventilator support within 30 days of discharge was associated with underimmunization. Having a surgical procedure was associated with underimmunization in both groups.
A large proportion of premature infants discharged from the NICU are underimmunized.
量化从新生儿重症监护病房(NICU)出院的早产儿的免疫状况,并确定免疫不足的风险因素。
我们对 2011 年至 2020 年间从 241 个 NICU 出院的<33 周龄婴儿进行了队列研究。使用多变量逻辑回归,我们研究了风险因素与出院时免疫不足之间的关联,出院时免疫不足定义为在 60-119 天龄时<1 剂 5 种疫苗类型,在 120-179 天龄时<2 剂。
在 60-119 天龄出院的 30766 名婴儿中,14%存在免疫不足。在 4358 名 120-179 天龄出院的婴儿中,53%存在免疫不足。对于 60-119 天龄出院的婴儿,出院后 30 天内使用呼吸机与免疫不足有关。两组均有手术与免疫不足有关。
很大一部分从 NICU 出院的早产儿免疫不足。
