Very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely preterm (EPT) infants typically experience multiple significant medical events, while in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), we aimed to identify how major medical and procedural events were associated with parental presence in this patient population. We retrospectively identified VLBW/EPT neonates at a single center and determined parental presence in the first 60 days of hospitalization based on routine documentation in the electronic medical record. The presence on each day was regressed on medical events and procedures occurring within the previous day using mixed-effects logistic regression. The analysis included 174 infants contributing 8750 days (observations), including 6061 days (69%) with parental presence, and 607 days (7%) with major medical events or procedures. The occurrence of a medical event or procedure within the past day increased the odds of parental presence by 28% (odds ratio: 1.28; 95% confidence interval: 1.04, 1.57;  p  = .018). Further analysis found this association was limited to severe (versus moderate) events and procedures, and was absent when considering events over the past week (versus the past day). Major medical events or procedures are associated with increased parental presence in the NICU. Future studies are needed to determine how interventions around the time of major medical events can support parental presence in the NICU and involvement in the child’s care.
