Comparison of Early Versus Very Early Postnatal Discharge on Hospital Readmissions in Newborns: A Prospective Study

Intervention / Treatment
Detailed Description
Introduction. Very early postnatal discharge is defined as a hospital stay of the mother-child dyad of less than 24 hours. It is usually performed in public institutions of low-income countries due to high birth rates; it has not been associated to a higher proportion of neonatal admissions, however, very early discharge might increase this risk. The objective of this study was to compare the rate hospital readmission in patients with very early vs early postnatal discharge.
Methods A prospective, randomized clinical study was performed with healthy term infants born in a hospital in Mexico from July 2016 to June 2018. Sample was randomized into two groups, a very early discharge group (<24 hours) and an early discharge group (24-48 hours). Hospital readmission rate was analyzed in both groups.
