Trends in complicated newborn hospital stays & costs, 2002-2009: implications for the future.
The researchers used HCUP data to examine trends from 2002 through 2009 in complicated newborn hospital stays, and to explore the relationship between expected sources of payment and reasons for hospitalizations. They concluded that state Medicaid programs are paying for an increasing proportion of births and costly complicated births, and they suggested that policies to prevent common birth complications have the potential to reduce costs for public programs and improve birth outcomes.
