Changes in Hospital Care of Newborn Infants with Trisomy 13
There was a slight decrease in infants admitted to neonatal intensive care units with Trisomy 13 over recent years. In-hospital neonatal mortality was unchanged. However, there was a significant increase in LOS, which was increased with procedures such as tracheostomy and G-tube placement, which may reflect a trend toward increasing interventions without a corresponding improvement in mortality.
