Abstract
Neonatal duration of hospital stay correlated with both birth weight and gestational age in positively skewed, nonlinear relationships. Within increments of birth weight, gestational age had a semi-independent influence on length of stay. Log length of stay correlated with both birth weight and gestational age in linear, normally distributed relationships. A nomogram is provided for predicting individual lengths of stay.
