What this trial studies

This study aims to assess the short-term and long-term outcomes of premature newborns who weigh less than 2 kilos at the time of discharge from the neonatology department at Hôpital NOVO. It will involve collecting data through questionnaires from parents to understand the effects of early discharge on morbidity and mortality rates. The research focuses on the implications of current discharge criteria and the role of parental involvement and health worker support in the care of these vulnerable infants. The study will analyze data from newborns discharged between 2012 and 2024 to provide insights into the effectiveness of these practices.
