alternative way of caring for low birth weight infants? One year mortality in a two cohort study. Pediatrics, 94(6 Pt1),
804-810. Infants < 2000 grm birthweight observed in two hospitals, one that gave KMC and the other did not. Enrolled
when ready for minimal care. KMC infants (n=162) were 24/7 KMC until not tolerated any more (about 37 weeks
postmenstrual age), and discharged early. Controls (n=170) were in incubators and had later discharge. Both followed up
to one year. KMC infants had higher relative risk of death, grew less in first 3 months, and had higher proportion of
developmental delay at 1 year, survival was similar between groups, but weight gain and neurodevelopment questions
remain. .PT, descriptive of two groups, Mortality, 12 month follow-up, development, weight gain, length of stay,
