Both the acute intensive care of premature infants and the management of their long-term medical and educational sequelae are costly. Because neonatal intensive care is very effective in reducing mortality, however, its cost effectiveness as described previously is actually quite favorable when compared with other well-accepted medical interventions, such as coronary artery bypass grafting and renal dialysis. This article has highlighted the relatively scant literature on which those estimates of costs and cost effectiveness of both neonatal intensive care and its component interventions rest. This is particularly true with respect to long-term resource use by graduates of NICUs. Without such information, we cannot hope to allocate resources in a way that ensures optimal care of this vulnerable population.
