NICU is a dichotomous variable that identifies whether the NBS Card submission came from a Special Care Unit (Level II) or NICU (Level III) rather than from the regular labor and delivery unit (from here on out referred to as “regular unit”). The variables “Right” and “Left” refer to the results of the right and left ear hearing tests. Each reported birth was classified as either “pass,” “refer,” or “not reported.” The variable “CCHD” refers to the results of the pulse oximetry test for CCHD. Each reported birth was classified as either “pass,” meaning a negative screen, “fail,” meaning a positive screen, or “not reported.” The variable “HOSPLEVEL” identifies the overall newborn unit classification for the hospital submitting the NBS Card. The variable “SURVEY” was created based on whether the hospital completed the developed survey. Data Analysis This study analyzed data using SAS 9.3 statistical software. Univariate statistics are used to describe distributions of unsatisfactory NBS Card submissions, NICU submissions, right and left ear hearing loss referrals, and results of the CCHD screenings for before and after the implementation period. Chi-square tests of independence were performed to examine the association between NICU and regular unit reports and the satisfactory NBS Card submissions as well as the reported results of each of the screenings, right and left ear hearing loss and CCHD. Chi-square tests of independence were then performed again for each of these associations stratified by the level of nursery. A logistic regression model was then conducted with hospital level and reports from a NICU. Provider Perceptions Participants In December 2015, DPH distributed a survey about current CCHD screening practices and implementation to nurse managers at all the 78 Georgia birthing hospitals. Hospitals could complete the survey online, via fax, or by telephone. The only criterion for eligibility for a hospital to complete the survey was that the hospital provides Labor and Delivery services. By the end of the data collection period, 49 hospitals responded to the survey resulting in a 62.8% response rate.
