More Than Safe Sleep: Children’s National Hospital Primary Care Infant Mortality Risk

September 16, 2021

Description: Children’s National Hospital has identified reducing infant mortality as one of its strategic priorities. In order to develop an infant mortality reduction plan for the Goldberg Center for Community Pediatric Health, a retrospective review of records was deemed necessary to determine the modifiable risk factors. In this session, we will present the Goldberg Center Infant Mortality Risk Identification data and ongoing research endeavors in developing a risk assessment tool and risk stratification system to identify high risk infants and prompt early intervention.

Theme(s): Safe Sleep, Fatherhood Dr. Katrina Hammond-Jack, Neonatal-Perinatal Medicine Fellow

Dr. ElShadey Bekele, Pediatrician, Children’s National Hospital
