The study period was two years from January 1, 2008 to December 31, 2009. Results: we included 18 newborns in the study period which represents 16.2 per thousand of readmissions. Thirteen were male (72.2%) and female (27.8%) 5. Primigravid corresponded to 83.3% and were product of second gestation or more 16.7%. Birth canal was in a vaginal delivery 77.7% and 22.3% by caesarean section. They had 37 weeks gestational age or shorter gestation 9 (50%). The percentage of loss of weight at the time of re-entry varied between 10% and 14.8% of the weight at birth. Conclusions: jaundice is a major cause of hospital readmission newly corresponding to 16.2 per thousand live births in Florida Department of.
