6. Multilevel factors associated with length of stay for neonatal abstinence syndrome in Florida’s NICUs: 2010–2015

Author

Reid, Chinyere N., Foti, Tara R., Mbah, Alfred K., Hudak, Mark L., Balakrishnan, Maya, Kirby, Russell S., Wilson, Roneé E., and Sappenfield, William M.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate potential factors influencing initial length of hospital stay (LOS) for infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS) in Florida. Methods: The study population included 2984 term, singleton live births in 33 Florida hospitals. We used hierarchical linear modeling to evaluate the association of community, hospital, and individual factors with LOS. Results: The average LOS of infants diagnosed with NAS varied significantly across hospitals. Individual-level factors associated with increased LOS for NAS included event year (P< 0.001), gestational age at birth (P< 0.001), maternal age (P= 0.002), maternal race and ethnicity (P< 0.001), maternal education (P= 0.032), and prenatal care adequacy (P< 0.001). Average annual hospital NAS volume (P= 0.022) was a significant hospital factor. Conclusion: NAS varies widely across hospitals in Florida. In addition to focusing on treatment regimens, to reduce LOS, public health and quality improvement initiatives should identify and adopt strategies that can minimize the prevalence and impact of these contributing factors.

13. Spousal Concordance in Attitudes toward Violence and Reported Physical Abuse in African Couples

Author

Alio, Amina P., Clayton, Heather B., Garba, Madeleine, Mbah, Alfred K., Daley, Ellen, and Salihu, Hamisu M.

Abstract

Purpose: We examined the potential association between African couples' concordance on attitudes toward violence (ATV) and risk for intimate partner violence (IPV). Method: Analyses included 13,837 couples from Demographic and Health Surveys conducted between 2003 and 2007, from six African countries. Concordance on ATV was defined as both spouses justifying physical abuse, and IPV was defined as incidence of a physically violent act against the wife. We constructed a concordance measure from the surveys to assess overall and country-level differences in couple's ATV concordance rates and assessed the association between concordance in ATV and IPV using hierarchical regression modeling that adjusted for multilevel influences on risk estimates. Negative concordance (perfect agreement in negative ATV) was used as referent category in all analyses. Findings: Overall, spousal ATV concordance was associated with higher likelihood for IPV (adjusted odds ratio [AOR] = 2.27, 95% confidence interval [CI] = [2.01, 2.56]). The level of wealth, educational attainment, rural/urban residence, presence of a cowife, religion, maternal age, and parity were characteristics that predicted the occurrence of IPV within couples. Spousal ATV concordance was significantly associated with violence in every African nation included in the analysis except Rwanda. Conclusions: African couples with high rates of ATV concordance experience higher risks for IPV, with some variation in magnitude of risk across countries. In African settings, ATV positive concordance could serve as a supplemental screening tool to detect spousal violence. Understanding ATV could potentially enhance our ability to formulate public health intervention to detect and prevent spousal abuse. (Contains 4 tables and 2 figures.)

Abstract

The absence of fathers during pregnancy increases the risk of feto-infant morbidities, including low birth weight (LBW), preterm birth (PTB), and small-for-gestational age. Previous research has shown that the Central Hillsborough Healthy Start project (CHHS)--a federally funded initiative in Tampa, Florida--has improved birth outcomes. This study explores the effectiveness of the CHHS project in ameliorating the adverse effects of fathers' absence during pregnancy. This retrospective cohort study used CHHS records linked to vital statistics and hospital discharge data (1998-2007). The study population consisted of women who had a singleton birth with an absent father during pregnancy. Women were categorized based on residence in the CHHS service area. Propensity score matching was used to match cases (CHHS) to controls (rest of Florida). Conditional logistic regression was employed to generate odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) for matched observations. Women residing in the CHHS service area were more likely to be high school graduates, black, younger ( Keywords Paternal involvement * Healthy Start * Florida * Preterm birth * Small-for-gestational age * Singletons, Introduction A growing body of research has revealed that paternal involvement significantly impacts child health and development [1-3].

Abstract

Lack of paternal involvement has been shown to be associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, including infant morbidity and mortality, but the impact on health care costs is unknown. Various methodological approaches have been used in cost minimization and cost effectiveness analyses and it remains unclear how cost estimates vary according to the analytic strategy adopted. We illustrate a methodological comparison of decision analysis modeling and generalized linear modeling (GLM) techniques using a case study that assesses the cost-effectiveness of potential father involvement interventions. We conducted a 12-year retrospective cohort study using a statewide enhanced maternal-infant database that contains both clinical and nonclinical information. A missing name for the father on the infant's birth certificate was used as a proxy for lack of paternal involvement, the main exposure of this study. Using decision analysis modeling and GLM, we compared all infant inpatient hospitalization costs over the first year of life. Costs were calculated from hospital charges using department-level cost-to-charge ratios and were adjusted for inflation. In our cohort of 2,243,891 infants, 9.2 % had a father uninvolved during pregnancy. Lack of paternal involvement was associated with higher rates of preterm birth, small-for-gestational age, and infant morbidity and mortality. Both analytic approaches estimate significantly higher per-infant costs for father uninvolved pregnancies (decision analysis model: $1,827, GLM: $1,139). This paper provides sufficient evidence that healthcare costs could be significantly reduced through enhanced father involvement during pregnancy, and buttresses the call for a national program to involve fathers in antenatal care. Keywords Paternal involvement * Decision analysis * Cost-effectiveness * Comparative effectiveness research Florida, Introduction Although the United States (US) spends a significant amount of money on health care, its health care system was ranked 37th in the world by the World Health Organization, [...]
