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).
