SUMMARY
The success rate of this procedure is about 40-50%, with potential complications arising from misaligned UVC placement. Objectives: To explore potential factors that may aid in the prediction of UVC misalignment. The authors hypothesized that UVC misalignment is proportionally related with increased chronological age. Methods: Retrospective chart review for newborns who had an UVC procedure followed by an x-ray. Logistic regression modeling identified that chronologic age positively predicted, and SGA negatively predicted, UVC misalignment. A misaligned UVC is more likely to occur in late preterm and term babies, whereas a baby being . . .
