Results

Families in which mothers were unmarried (aOR 1.42, 95% CI 1.03-1.95), did not require an interpreter (aOR 2.86, 95% CI 1.54-5.32), were multiparous (aOR 1.56, 95% CI 1.16-2.10), delivered prior to 37 weeks' gestation (aOR 1.57, 95% CI 1.17-2.12), or resided ≥50 miles from the NICU (aOR 1.38, 95% CI 1.02-1.87) were significantly mo
