The frequency of admission to neonatal intensive care units is higher in Denmark than in the UK. The organization of the paediatric departments varies from county to county in Denmark. To investigate possible differences due to the organization, the records for all hospitalized newborns in a one year period in two counties (FR and FU) were studied. The rate of prematurity was higher in county FU than in FR, but, surprisingly, the admission rate was lowest in county FU. For full term infants the highest admission rate was found in county FR, where more infants were treated with nasal continuous positive airway pressure compared to FU. Short admissions were more common in FR. The on-call paediatrician is a senior doctor in FU, whereas it is a junior doctor in FR, and this could be a possible explanation for the differences between the two counties.
丹麦新生儿重症监护病房的收治频率高于英国。丹麦各郡的儿科部门组织形式各不相同。为调查因组织形式不同可能存在的差异，对两个郡（FR和FU）一年内所有住院新生儿的记录进行了研究。FU郡的早产率高于FR郡，但令人惊讶的是，FU郡的收治率最低。对于足月儿，FR郡的收治率最高，与FU郡相比，该郡更多婴儿接受了经鼻持续气道正压通气治疗。FR郡短时间住院的情况更为常见。在FU郡，值班儿科医生是资深医生，而在FR郡是初级医生，这可能是两郡之间存在差异的一个解释。
