Although the weight gain between discharge and 1 month follow-up and between 1 and 4 months follow-up were not statistically significant, there were significant increases in height during these periods (mean, 1.378±1.237, P≤.001; mean, 1.954±1.696, P≤.001).
The unit cost of the intervention was €16.6, which would yield a Quality Adjusted Life Year (QALY) gain per discharge of 0.010.
Additionally, this hospital also has a 20-bed ward where neonates await weight gain for discharge and a 15-bed kangaroo mother care (KMC) ward.
An interpretation is that the quantity of inpatient rehabilitation does matter; for the patient population in our trial most functional gains occurred during the inpatient stay, with minimal gains following discharge.
If the intervention effectiveness is 21% (base-case scenario), then the QALY gain per discharged patient is 0.010 (0.21×0.049)—equivalent to one healthy life-year per 100 patient discharges.
To evaluate the acceptance, adherence, and feasibility of fortifier administration by finger feeder during breastfeeding and to determine weight, length, and head circumference gains after discharge for preterm infants.
There was a non-significant trend in boys to increased growth (higher weight, length and OFC gain) pre-discharge on the higher protein intakes, but there were no group differences at 12 weeks post-term in auxology or body composition.
Applying multi-electrode-pair pulse TEA CO2 laser to one optical resonance cavity will have several advantages over traditional method, including higher gain, shorter pulse discharge time interval, and in particular, continuous adjustable time interval of multi-pulse laser output can be achieved without high vacuum condition.
It appears that the navy was considered to be slightly less prestigious than the auxilia but, like the auxilia, troops could gain citizenship on discharge upon retirement.
The FIM efficiency (FIMEG) of the rehabilitation programme was calculated by the gain in FIM (Discharge FIM score – Admission FIM score), divided by the duration of stay.
