萨洛蒙说,他们的结论是,新生儿重症监护是一笔非常好的投资。
"Neonatal intensive care actually provides exceptionally high value for money when you tally up all of the short-term and long-term health gains against the relatively high cost of the intervention itself," he said in a telephone interview.
他说:“如果你把所有短期和长期的健康好处加在一起,和相对较高的治疗费用进行比较,可以看出,对新生儿重症监护的投资确实获得了非常高的价值。”

例如,早产15个星期的婴儿如果接受新生儿重症监护,寿命可以延长28年,健康生活的平均费用是每年是1,200美元。
