Abstract
Introduction: Extended hospitalization of low birth weight infants increases risk of medical and psychosocial complications. Our aim was to reduce the length of hospitalization and assess safety and cost savings of discharging infants at a weight of 1900 g instead of 2000 g, as has been the practice. Methods: This is a single-centre, nurse led quality improvement project done at a tertiary neonatal unit in Singapore with primary outcome of reducing average length of stay in selected low birth weight infants. In phase 1, infants with birth weight between 1000 and 1700 g were discharged at 1900
