Summary:Homecare for neonates has advanced, but combative analysis of contact methods remains unexplored. The aim was to identify predictors of readmission during homecare and to compare home visit, telemedicine or outpatient visit. This retrospective study included infants receiving homecare from 1 January 2015 to 31 December 2022. Data were obtained from local databases from six neonatal units in Denmark. The medical records of readmitted infants were reviewed. The main outcome were causes and predictors of readmission during homecare. The secondary outcome was exclusive breastfeeding at discharge. The cohort consisted of 4827 infants (boys = 54.0%). The rate of unplanned readmissions was 4.6%. A gestational age (GA)
