Vermont birth certificates and hospital medical charts for 1979 were reviewed to determine whether infants born at home or in hospitals had documentation of prophylaxis against gonococcal ophthalmia neonatorum. Of the 139 home births recorded in 1979, 78 infants (54.0 percent) received no prophylaxis, compared with 97 (1.4 percent) of 7,156 infants born in hospitals (P less than 0.0001). Ophthalmic medications that have not been recommended for use for neonatal prophylaxis were being used in two hospitals in the State. A followup review of 7,668 Vermont birth certificates for 1980 indicated that hospital practices improved in that year, after the hospitals received a reminder on proper prophylactic procedures from the Vermont Department of Health.
查阅了佛蒙特州1979年的出生证明和医院病历，以确定在家中或医院出生的婴儿是否有预防新生儿淋菌性眼炎的记录。1979年记录的139例家庭分娩中，78名婴儿（54.0%）未接受预防措施，而在医院出生的7156名婴儿中有97名（1.4%）未接受预防措施（P<0.0001）。该州两家医院正在使用未被推荐用于新生儿预防的眼科药物。对佛蒙特州1980年7668份出生证明的后续审查表明，在医院收到佛蒙特州卫生部关于正确预防程序的提醒后，当年医院的做法有所改进。
