Length of stay and complications associated with febrile infants <90 days of age hospitalized in the United States, 2000-2012.
This study tracked length of stay (LOS) and complications associated with febrile infants younger than 90 days hospitalized in the United States from 2000-2012. Data from the HCUP Kids’ Inpatient Database and other state-specific data was used to identify infants hospitalized in 2000, 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2012. Multivariate analysis was used to determine LOS, risk factors for prolonged LOS, and complications of care among infants with isolated fever or viral respiratory disease. 44,875 infants were identified with approximately two-thirds staying for 2 days or less, and 11% for 4 days or more. Factors associated with longer LOS included younger age, critical clinical status, concomitant chronic disease, and presence of complications.

Predictors of mortality for preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage: a population-based study.
This study examined the risk factors for mortality in preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). An overall inpatient mortality occurred in 10% of the cohort of 7437 preterm infants born between 2005 and 2014. Mortality risk was independently associated with a variety of factors including male sex, Asian race, lower gestational age, higher IVH grade, gastrotomy, tracheostomy, and shunt infection.
