This retrospective study aims to compare discharge criteria and their impact on the length of stay using two neonatal intensive care units from two countries The possible discharge criteria include temperature control apnea observation periodic respiration least weight limit and parents readiness
The data were collected retrospectively in each study site

Detailed Description:
Aims To compare discharge criteria and their impact on the length of stay among preterm infants in Japan and Finland The possible discharge criteria include temperature control apnea observation periodic respiration least weight limit and parents readiness
Study design and settings This is a retrospective comparison study in two NICUs a Level IV in Japan and a Level III in Finland
Patients Eligible infants are those who were born between 280 and 316 weeks of gestation and who were discharged home from the study sites between January 2020 and December 2021 Infants will be excluded if 1 they have major anomalies at birth 2 they are not discharged home from the study sites or 3 they are discharged home with oxygen andor after tracheostomy
Outcome measures The primary outcomes are the most common last discharge criterion between the two NICUs and the potential shortening effects of each discharge criterion on the length of stay The secondary outcome is the postmenstrual age PMA for each discharge criterion
Statistics The comparison between two continuous variables will be carried out by the student t test
Ethics The Ethics Committee of Nagano Childrens Hospital gave ethical approval to this study The study permission was obtained in both study sites
