Percent of Pennsylvania newborn hospital stays, categorized by the presence or absence of Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome (NAS), with Medicaid as the Anticipated Primary Payer.
Neonatal Abstinence Syndrome, or neonatal drug withdrawal, is an array of problems that develops shortly after birth in newborns who were exposed to addictive drugs, most often opioids, while in the mother’s womb. Withdrawal signs develop because these newborns are no longer exposed to the drug for which they have become physically dependent.
This analysis is restricted to newborns with Pennsylvania-state residence who were hospitalized in Pennsylvania hospitals.
