Abstract

There were 1,899 infants registered in NICUS in 1998. The most common reasons for registration of an infant were assisted ventilation for four hours or more (67.4 per cent) and gestational age less than 29 weeks (20.6 per cent). Infants generally met more than one of the registration criteria.
