Preterm birth is a LOSE-LOSE situation for all stakeholders

Payers

Preterm birth poses an enormous financial burden. Every pregnancy that reaches full term rather than ending prematurely saves substantial medical costs due to short-term and long-term treatment

Preterm birth costs

> $25B
per year in the USA

Health System Providers

Premature birth is the most common reason for neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) admission

Many healthcare systems face a shortage of NICU capacity and facilities, therefore reducing preterm births alleviates this strain

One day of hospitalization in the NICU costs

$3,300

Families

Delaying premature delivery significantly reduces medical costs and income loss, which may occur if one or both parents need to care for a child with ongoing health issues

Average first-year preemie treatment costs

$49K

Cost
