Implementing vancomycin-sparing regimens in preterm infants

The goal of this study is to reduce total vancomycin use days among preterm infants during hospitalization without an increase in adverse effects, and to identify barriers and facilitators to the use of vancomycin-sparing regimens in preterm infants in participating NICUs.

Health and Neurodevelopmental Outcomes in Infants at Risk for Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndromes: (NOWSEffects of Timing and Duration of Prenatal Opioid Exposure (POE) & Postnatal Management with Eat-Sleep-Console (ESC)

In alignment with the objectives of the FDA to apply regulatory science to ensure optimal drug safety in pediatric populations, this study will address the critical public health consequences of prenatal opioid exposure during the ongoing opioid epidemic in the US. The study will compare differences in outcomes (both in-hospital and neurodevelopmental outcomes) between pharmacotherapy of opioid replacement and non-pharmacological management in infants with prenatal opioid exposure (POE), who are at risk for neonatal opioid withdrawal syndrome (NOWS).

A retrospective real-world study of treatment patterns and outcomes in pre-term infants 32-37 weeks gestational age with respiratory distress syndrome

A retrospective real-world study of treatment patterns and outcomes in pre-term infants 32-37 weeks gestational age with respiratory distress syndrome
To characterize treatment patterns and outcomes in infants 32-37 weeks with respiratory distress, short term outcomes will include modality of support and duration of treatment and long-term outcomes will include health care utilization in the first year of life and receipt of respiratory medications (diuretics, steroids, bronchodilators). Treatment and outcomes will be examined after stratifying by social determinants of health.

Predictive Analytics for Newborn Bilirubin Management

Our objective is to integrate the bilirubin risk prediction model into the automated bilirubin assessment in the laboratory results and provide follow-up guidance on timing of repeat bilirubin testing. We hypothesize that integration of this model will lead to better risk- stratification and a decline in bilirubin testing without an increase in readmissions for phototherapy or severe hyperbilirubinemia. Our specific aims are to compare the 1) mean number of bilirubin results per infant 2) phototherapy readmissions and 3) incidence of severe hyperbilirubinemia among newborns managed using the bilirubin prediction model and automated follow-up recommendations compared to newborns managed at the discretion of individual physicians.

Neurodevelopmental outcomes in infants receiving opioid-replacement

Infants with Neonatal Opioid Withdrawal Syndrome (NOWS) are often treated with prolonged opioid-replacement pharmacotherapy. Whether opioid exposure in-utero or significant opioid exposure used to treat withdrawal symptoms impacts neurodevelopmental outcomes is unknown. Our aim is to evaluate neurodevelopmental outcomes at ages 24-72 months in infants who received opioids-replacement pharmacotherapy (treated NOWS infants), compared to those who did not receive pharmacotherapy (untreated NOWS). Our secondary aim is to evaluate maternal demographic and clinical characteristics as potential risk modifiers associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes.

MAESTRA: Maternal Antecedents of Encephalopathy in Term Infants

This study tests the hypothesis that established NICHD-approved electronic fetal monitoring (EFM) features used as standard care in the U.S. and other developed countries can exhibit improved sensitivity and specificity for predicting HIE when they are combined with novel EFM features that will be discovered by advanced signal processing and machine learning techniques. This study will abstract a large amount of detailed maternal, infant and fetal data from the electronic medical records of infants born at ≥ 36 weeks gestation in 2010-2020 at Kaiser Permanente Northern California.

Exogenous surfactant utilization for respiratory failure in late and moderately preterm infants: impact on short- and long-term outcomes

The goal is to define and refine the current epidemiology, clinical characteristics, and treatment practices in respiratory failure in late and moderately preterm Infants. Specific aims include determining the incidence and epidemiology of respiratory failure in the neonates born at 32-36 weeks of gestation, describing disease severity and respiratory support by diagnostic category; describing the use of surfactant replacement therapy; and assessing the impact of surfactant replacement therapy on length of respiratory support, length of hospitalization, and respiratory outcomes in the first year of life.

Expansion of Division of Research Perinatal Research Unit (EXPPRU)

Dedicated quantitative analytic support for obstetrics has not been available in Kaiser Permanente Northern California. An unusual opportunity has appeared: as a result of a project to develop a predictive model for obstetric complications, considerable development work has been conducted by a Division of Research (DOR) team. If linked to an ongoing program, the DOR Perinatal Research Unit, this development work could permit our region to enhance its ability to conduct sophisticated quantitative quality-assurance and utilization management in obstetrics.

This study will explore the opportunity to expand the extraordinarily successful Perinatal Research Unit so that it could monitor obstetrics, not just neonatology. In addition to the funds requested here, TPMG has committed to providing MD time.

Improving Post-Discharge Bilirubin Management in Newborns

There is variation and overuse in bilirubin testing among newborns. Multiple repeat testing occurs despite most newborns being at low risk for reaching bilirubin levels that would require phototherapy. Among the Kaiser Permanente birth population, 45 percent have two or more tests and 10 percent four or more tests. While the tests themselves are relatively inexpensive, the burden on families is significant, given the need to bring their newborns into outpatient clinics for repeat testing and the stress of worrying about hyperbilirubinemia. Evidence-based approaches for repeat testing are lacking. The aims of this study are to develop total serum bilirubin nomograms based upon gestational age, develop predictive models for reaching bilirubin levels above the 95th percentile during the first week of life to guide clinicians on the need and timing of post-discharge bilirubin testing, and assess the utility of bilirubin screening at less than 24 hours of age.

Medical Burden Associated with Preterm Labor and Preterm Birth in Kaiser Northern California

The aims of this study are to: 1) Characterize women in the Northern California Kaiser Permanente Medical Care Program (KPMCP) who received a diagnosis of preterm labor (PTL) between January 2001 and December 2010 and compare them to women without PTL who deliver at term. 2) Compare maternal and infant outcomes of pregnancies complicated by preterm labor versus those unaffected by PTL. 3) Evaluate the incremental cost of preterm delivery by week of gestational age. 4) Compare the maternal costs of pregnancies with PTL and without PTL.
