Article Synopsis
- - A study evaluated the reliability of birth certificate data for analyzing NICU admission rates, comparing it with California Children's Services (CCS) data to see how well they matched across hospitals.
- - Birth certificate data generally reported lower NICU admission rates than CCS data, but in a specific group of hospitals, the two data sources showed strong agreement.
- - The results suggest that, for certain hospitals, birth certificate data could be a useful tool to examine variations in NICU admissions across different facilities.
