摘要

Objective

Assess postpartum care attendance among parents of infants in a large, urban, children’s hospital level IV NICU with an on-site delivery unit.

Study design

86 postpartum parents of infants continuously hospitalized ≥six weeks and <one year postpartum in a level IV NICU between 4/24/23 and 2/16/24 completed surveys. We compared postpartum visit attendance by six weeks between parents of infants transferred into the NICU to parents of infants born in the hospital’s delivery unit (inborn).

Results

26 (30%) did not attend a postpartum visit by six weeks, significantly more common among parents of transferred (41%) than parents of (10%) inborn infants (aRR 4.5, 95% CI: 1.3–15.6). Health concerns were common in both groups.

Conclusion

Parents of transferred infants had a higher risk of not attending a postpartum visit by six weeks compared to parents of inborn infants, highlighting the need for children’s hospitals to measure and address postpartum healthcare gaps.
