<p>The Spring 2008 issue of RAND Review compares neonatal services across the United Kingdom, the United States, Canada, Australia, and Sweden, discusses water resources management, U.S. policies in Asia, and political polarization.</p>

<p>Recent research has shown a strong relationship between birth spacing and child survival in developing countries. While estimates of the size of this relationship vary among countries, the risk of dying for children born after short birth intervals is substantially higher than for children born after longer birth intervals.</p>

<p>To estimate the risks of neonatal morbidity and mortality associated with a trial of labor and with elective cesarean for the term breech infant.</p>

<p>Few studies have examined the provision of tertiary care services by managed care organizations (MCOs).</p>

<p>Addresses the question of the economic burden of low birth weight, that is, who pays for the economic costs associated with low birth weight births.</p>

http://www.rand.org/pubs/external_publications/EP19980708.html Jan 1, 1998 Jan 1, 1998

<p>Very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (those with birth weights less than 1500g) account for only 1.2% of births but 46% of infant deaths.</p>

<p>Cost savings may be achieved as a result of collaborative quality improvement efforts and when they occur, they appear to be sustainable, at least in the short run. In high-cost patient populations, such as infants with very low birth weights, cost savings can quickly offset institutional expenditures for quality improvement efforts.</p>

<p>This article provides an overview of neonatal intensive care unit treatment costs for hospitals that participated in the Neonatal Intensive Care Quality Improvement Collaborative Year 2000 (NIC/Q 2000) quality improvement collaborative and discusses how economic information can be used in quality improvement efforts.</p>

<p>Some discrepancies exist between the RSV prophylaxis guidelines and the published data on the level of risk of hospitalization for RSV disease by GA and lung disease.</p>

<p>Evidence-based selective referral strategies are being used by an increasing number of insurers to ensure that medical care is provided by high-quality providers.</p>

<p>There is very little information about long-term outcomes, as the medical and developmental status of few of these infants has been followed carefully.</p>

<p>The main aim of the present analysis is to test the possibility that the period of economic hardship characterizing Mexico over the decade 1986*1996 has negatively influenced infant health outcomes.</p>

<p>Nosocomial bloodstream infections (NBIs) are associated with serious morbidity and prolonged length of stay (LOS) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants.</p>

<p>Much of the decline in childhood mortality over the past two decades is attributable to improvements in neonatal intensive care for very-low-birthweight infants.</p>

<p>The authors investigated whether the proportion of Black very low-birth-weight (VLBW) infants treated by hospitals is associated with neonatal mortality for Black and White VLBW infants.</p>

<p>The objectives of this study were to examine the impact of postpartum hospital-stay legislation on newborns' length of stay, neonatal readmissions, and 1-year mortality in California, and whether this legislation had differential impacts by demographics and complications during delivery or pregnancy.</p>

Ensuring high quality intrapartum care in developing countries is a crucial component of efforts to reduce maternal and neonatal mortality and morbidity.
