OBJECTIVES: Opioid exposed infants born to incarcerated women represent a vulnerable and understudied subset of infants with neonatal abstinence syndrome (NAS). The impact of maternal incarceration on length of stay (LOS) for infants with NAS is unknown. We hypothesized that infants with NAS born to incarcerated women have longer hospitalizations compared to infants with NAS born to non-incarcerated women.
METHODS: This is a retrospective cohort study of infants with NAS born between 2011 and 2018 at the primary delivery site for Connecticut's only women's prison. Opioid exposed infants were assessed by Finnegan Scores for withdrawal and received morphine as a first line agent and phenobarbital as a second line agent. LOS was compared using Poisson regression.
RESULTS: Of 206 infants identified, 166 were included in the analysis, with 28 born to incarcerated women and 138 to non-incarcerated women. Incarcerated women were more likely to report prenatal alcohol use, 14.3% vs 2.2% p = 0.016 and benzodiazepine use 21.4% vs 7.3% p = 0.032. Infants of incarcerated women were less likely to be fed breast milk at discharge, 3.6% vs 37% p < 0.001. Adjusted mean LOS was longer among infants born to incarcerated women, 18.5 vs 16.6 days (p = 0.009).
CONCLUSIONS FOR PRACTICE: Infants with NAS born to incarcerated women in Connecticut had longer LOS, lower rates of being fed breast milk, and different prenatal substance exposures than infants with NAS born to non-incarcerated women. Supporting the maternal-infant dyad until infant discharge may mitigate the potential negative impact of maternal incarceration on the care of infants with NAS.
