Admissions<br />
The proportion of newborns with a low Apgar score (0-3) at 1 minute is higher in the<br />
maternities with MIC-services. The proportion of newborns with a low Apgar score (0-<br />
3) at 5 minutes is also higher in the maternities with MIC-services. Nonetheless, the<br />
differ<strong>en</strong>ces are slight. Apgar score are also linked to prematurity.<br />
PROPORTION OF ADMISSIONS TO NIC AND N*<br />
In maternities without MIC-service, 22.1% of the neonates are reported being admitted<br />
separately from their mother (0.4 % in NIC-service and 21.7% in N*- service).<br />
In maternities with MIC-services, 18.8% of the neonates are reported being admitted<br />
separately from the mother (14.7 % in NIC-service and 4.1% in N*-service).<br />
These results are shown in the table 28 below.<br />

The use of NIC or N*-services seems to dep<strong>en</strong>d highly from the availability of services.<br />
There are two maternities with NIC-service without a MIC-service. All the others have<br />
MIC- as well as NIC -beds.<br />
These isolated NIC-services admit 12.9 % of the newborns separately from their<br />
mother (10.7% in NIC and 2.2 in N*-service).
