Abstract

Objective High-risk infants are commonly referred to Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) agencies for post-hospitalization services after discharge from the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Little is known about the effectiveness and perceived benefits of routine VNA services for these infants. The objective of this study was to identify factors predictive of family satisfaction with VNA services after NICU discharge. Study design This is an observational study using data collected from routine quality assurance phone calls to families after NICU discharge. The setting is a single NICU at a large, urban academic medical center in Boston, MA, USA. We included all hospitalized infants discharged from the NICU from 1 January 2008 to 31 July 2014. Predictors included markers of infant biological and social risk and a survey measure of parent and nurse perceptions of parents' preparedness at discharge. The outcome was parent response to the question, 'Did you find the VNA visit helpful?' at 2 weeks post discharge. Results Bivariate analyses showed perceived helpfulness of VNA visits associated with low maternal parity, lower 1-min Apgar score, lower birth weight and gestational age, diagnosis of respiratory distress syndrome and intraventricular hemorrhage and low discharge readiness scores. Only low maternal parity (odds ratio (OR) 1.82, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.35, 2.46) and birth Conclusions Low maternal parity and gestational age <35 weeks predicted parent satisfaction…

  • In-person home visits and web app may be more beneficial for families whose infants had higher medical risk factors or complications.

    “Researchers also noted that the in-person home visits and web app may be more beneficial for families whose infants had higher medical risk factors or complications (Awindaogo et al., 2016; Baraldi et al., 2020; Gund et al., 2013).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
