Strengthening the infrastructure of the neonatal care service system is an important field of work in Korea. Motivated by the efforts of the Korean government, we address the problem of allocating care capacities to neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) to maximize the demand covered over the planning horizon. To address this problem, we suggest a mathematical model that incorporates three important problem features:(1) a multi-period planning horizon; (2) a hierarchical structure of the neonatal care service system (multi-flow, nested, and non-coherent); and (3) a congestion effect in providing services at each NICU. The model is formulated as a mixed-integer linear programming problem and is applied to the design of neonatal care service system in Korea. By evaluating several scenarios through varying the total amount of budget available, our experimental results highlight insightful information for policy makers to establish their rollout plan. In particular, we evaluate three alternatives to improve the quality of neonatal care services. The first two alternatives are related to increasing care capacities, and the third option is related to limiting inappropriate inflow to NICUs. The experimental results confirm that increasing care capacities by upgrading lower levels of NICUs to higher levels is the most effective policy among the three options. We believe that our model and findings are paramount for the development of better neonatal care service systems.

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to analyze the association between maternal age and pregnancy outcome in primipara. Methods: We evaluated retrospectively the clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes in primiparous mothers who delivered a fetus after more than 22 weeks of gestation in I hospital from January 2017 to December 2018. Statistical analysis was performed using chi-square tests and multivariable logistic regression. The education, occupation, abortion history, assisted reproductive technology (ART) and multiple pregnancy all showed significantly higher incidence, depending on maternal age (<i>p</i><0.000). Results: The odds ratio in maternal complications was 2.327 times higher in mothers 40 years and above than mothers 29 years and below, and 1.912 times higher in mothers 35-39 years than mothers 29 years and below. The odds ratio in gestational diabetes was 3.337 times higher in mothers 40 years and above than mothers 29 years and below, and 2.698 times higher in mothers 35-39 years than mothers 29 years and below. Conclusions: Consequently, this study showed a significant association between maternal age and pregnancy outcome in primipara. However, as the maternal age increases, the improvement of socioeconomic status and health level are expected to have a greater impact on outcome of pregnancy despite the physical defects of biological aging.
