“…While differences in study design, cost accounting methods and health-care delivery systems make comparisons difficult, it appears that the cost of readmission in our study represents a smaller portion of the total in-patient cost of premature infants than those reported in the previously mentioned recent studies from Europe. 6,7 Similar to the study from the United Kingdom, 7 we found increased average cost per admission among infants <28 and <32 weeks compared to infants at 33 to 35 weeks.…”

“…The other study reviewed the cost and causes of hospitalization in the first 5 years of life for 240 000 infants of all gestational ages born in the United Kingdom between 1970 and 1993. 7 These authors found that average hospital readmissions within the first year of life for surviving preterm infants actually cost more than the average initial birth admission, and that hospital readmissions within the first year of life for the most premature infants (<28 weeks gestation) cost 30-fold more than those for term infants.…”

“…4,5 Hospitalization for preterm contractions with suspected imminent preterm delivery poses a major burden on health services, and costs and accounts for more than one-third of obstetric admissions before delivery. 6,7 Although used in prenatal genetic screening programs since the 1980s 8 and also for risk assessment of preterm labor, 9 the predictive power of pregnancy-associated plasma protein A (PAPP-A) in the second trimester for preterm delivery is still considered speculative. 10 In assessing the predictive value of first-trimester PAPP-A for preterm delivery and fetal growth restriction in a selected study group of pregnancies achieved via assisted technologies, only weak associations have been found.…”
