Early discharge from obstetrics-pediatrics at the hospital de Valme, with domiciliary follow-up
Article Abstract:
A study is undertaken to evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of a program of early obstetric-pediatric discharge with domiciliary follow-up compared with the traditional postpartum hospital stay, according to the criteria described by reviewers of the subject. It is demonstrated that both study groups were homogenous and that there was no patient selection by important variables such as cultural level, age initiation-evolution-completion of the birth or neonatal characteristics.
