Article Synopsis
- Newborn care guidelines suggest follow-up assessments within a week after discharge, but this study focuses on the impact of early follow-up visits (EFVs) within three days and their link to neonatal hospital readmission.
- Researchers analyzed data from the French National Health Care Database, involving healthy infants born in Southern France, and found that 2.25% were hospitalized, mainly due to infections and jaundice.
- The study concluded that infants with EFVs had a 13% lower chance of being rehospitalized, suggesting that these visits should be prioritized to enhance infant health and reduce healthcare expenses.
