Children born to mothers with opioid use disorder (OUD) are at increased risk of maltreatment and out-of-home care (OOHC) placement. This study examines the parent-child interaction quality and home environments of 92 New Zealand children with prenatal opioid exposure (OE) and 106 non-opioid-exposed (NE) children. Experiences for those in maternal care versus OOHC were of particular interest.

The long-term outcomes of children exposed to opioids and other substances in utero, specifically those diagnosed with Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), present a complex interaction of different factors. First, NAS and its clinical presentation will be defined, then summarized will be an overview of NAS prevalence, recent trends, and significance of NAS in the context of the rising synthetic opioid and polysubstance use. Highlighted will also be the identified risk factors for NAS, especially regarding the role of environmental and psychosocial stressors during pregnancy.

Introduction: Perinatal substance use continues to rise across the United States presenting unique challenges to providing antepartum care. Polysubstance use, limited and late engagement in health care, co-occurring mood disorders, and several social barriers are well documented. This review seeks to summarize these barriers and present novel approaches to caring for this high-risk population.

Article Synopsis
  • This study assessed the effects of in-utero exposure to illicit fentanyl on neonatal outcomes, focusing on conditions like neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS), length of stay (LOS), and treatment needs.
  • Conducted from March 2020 to December 2022, the research found that nearly half of the infants in the study had in-utero fentanyl exposure, linked to characteristics such as older maternal age and lower prenatal care.
  • Results indicated that fentanyl exposure significantly increased the likelihood and severity of NOWS, necessitated earlier treatment, and was associated with longer hospital stays for both preterm and full-term neonates.

Objective: To predict pharmacotherapy for NOWS based on factors available shortly after birth.

Study Design: A multi-center, retrospective study of 1377 opioid exposed newborns between 2016 and 2017 dichotomized based on pharmacologic treatment (N = 665 treated, N = 712 not treated) was conducted. A multilevel mixed-effect logistic regression model that considered cluster effect from sites determined significant maternal and newborn factors associated with pharmacotherapy, which were combined in a nomogram to predict probability of treatment for infants at each participating site.
