Length of stay (LOS)

Introduction

•LOS associated to high cost for hospital

LOS and physiological functions

Introduction

•Direct relation between LOS and infant functional status

OMT and newborns

Introduction

•Lack of osteopathic studies

•CAM (i.e. massage) seems to be related to a decrease of LOS

•No formal evidence to support

Aim of the study

•Evaluate the efficacy of OMT in reducing LOS and weight at birth in a population of preterm infants.

Study design

Materials & Methods

•Randomized control trial

Limitations

•No formal computation of power and sample size

•Sample recruitment from only one NICU

Conclusion

•The present study shows that OMT is independently associated to a statistical significant reduction in LOS in a population of pre-term infants.

Conclusion

•Call for further studies based on multicentric study design
