Available from www.nichd.nih.gov/cochraneneonatal. Analyzed 3 24/7 KMC studies (Sloan 94; Charpak 97, Cattaneo
98) and concluded “all studies were of moderate to poor methodology. No evidence of difference on infant mortality,
Decreased severity of illness, decreased respiratory distress, decreased maternal dissatisfaction with care, decreased
perception of social support in NICU, increased exclusivity BF, increased weight gain, increased maternal competence
(p.3), but says that methodological quality of trials weaken credibility of findings and that “there is still insufficient
evidence to recommend its routine use in LBW infants. Well designed RCTs are needed.”(pg. 3).Only one outcome of
the meta-analysis was KMC reduced likelihood of NOT EXCLUSIVELY BF at discharge.META-ANALYSIS.

Conde-Agudelo A., Diaz-Rossello JL, Belizan JM. 2003. Kangaroo mother care to reduce morbidity and
mortality in low birthweight infants. Cochrane Database Systematic Reviews, #2, CD002771. This is the Feb. 11, 2003
update. They reviewed 5 new studies out through Dec. 2002 (Tessier et al., 1998 was one). ALL STUDIES HAVE TO
BE 24/7 KMC, not intermittent KC).. No RCT met criteria for review (weaknesses were blinding procedures for those
who collected outcomes, handling of drop outs, completeness of follow-up) so recommendations are not changed.
Results of new studies (but not meta-analysis) for Mortality (no difference), Infection (decreased in KC), BF (More
exclusive BF in KC), Readmissions (no differences), Weight gain (significantly more in KC), psychomotor development
(no differences at 12 months), maternal competence (sig. better in KC), hypo & hyperthermia (sig. less in KC), cost (50%
less for KC), and length of stay (KC= 4.5 days, control – 5.6 days)are reported on pages 8-10 and based on three studies
of 1362 infants,all tested in developing countries. Available through www.nichd.nih.gov/cochrane/condeagudelo/conde-agudelo.htm
