Direct and indirect healthcare and carbon savings with ACTIVE Particle Control air-purification.

Controlling airborne transmitted disease remains a challenge to clinicians, healthcare administrators, and engineers. Engineering measures are critical to any infection control program but can require extensive installation procedures, may be expensive to maintain, and may not always demonstrate clinical or financial benefit. We determined the financial and carbon benefits of an engineering solution to combat air pollutants and to control airborne transmitted disease.

Risk factors for hospital readmission among infants with prolonged neonatal intensive care stays.

Objective: To assess risk factors associated with 30-day hospital readmission after a prolonged neonatal intensive care stay.

Study Design: Retrospective analysis of 57,035 infants discharged >14 days from the NICU between 2013 and 2016. Primary outcome was 30-day, all-cause hospital readmission.
