Impact of systematic screening for social determinants of health in a level IV neonatal intensive care unit.

Objective: To determine whether screening for social determinants of health (SDoH) in a level IV neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) could uncover additional family needs.

Methods: Secondary analysis of a prospective study in a level IV NICU. Participants filled out the Protocol for Responding to and Assessing Patients' Assets, Risks and Experiences (PRAPARE) tool, which includes economic, housing, transportation, and safety questions.

Inpatient education reduces length of outpatient oxygen therapy in bronchopulmonary dysplasia: A quality improvement project.

Background: Patients discharged on home oxygen therapy (HOT) for bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD) often receive months of this therapy. A previous trial comparing two methods of HOT weaning showed that increased parent involvement in HOT weaning decreased HOT duration. Our outpatient team uses a standard protocol for outpatient HOT weaning, starting at the first clinic visit 4-6 weeks after discharge.

Identifying barriers and facilitators to care for infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia after NICU discharge: a prospective study of parents and clinical stakeholders.

Objective: Understand barriers and facilitators to follow-up care for infants with bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD).

Methods: Qualitative study of parents and clinical stakeholders caring for infants with BPD. The interview guide was developed by a mother of a former 23-week preterm infant, neonatologist, pulmonologist, nurse, and qualitative researcher.
