Abstract

In-utero opioid exposures continue to rise nationally. Infants at risk for Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS) often times experience extended , length of stay in critical care units, and increased costs of care. New research suggests that functional based assessment of NAS could reduce opioid medication exposure rates and improve outcomes.
