Mississippi could improve birth outcomes with a doula program

Once again, the state of Mississippi earned an F on its birth outcomes report card. The state’s preterm birth rate, 15%, is the highest in the nation, according to the MPB report. Over 5,700 premature births were born last year. The state also has the highest rate, 39%, of cesarean deliveries in the nation. Babies born prematurely (less than 37 weeks), very premature (less than 32 weeks), and delivered via cesarean (a major abdominal surgery) cost state taxpayers hundreds of millions of dollars each year. The estimated average societal economic cost (medical, educational and loss of productivity) associated with a single preterm birth in Mississippi is approximately $58,000 per premature baby annually . Most of the cost is associated with very premature babies who are admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit. The average total cost for a NICU stay is $2,000 to $10,000 per day, according to Careroute.com and a full stay often totals $50,000 to over $500,000, depending on how early the baby was born. Then there’s the high cost of cesarean deliveries, the No. 1 surgery in the state. Mississippi State Department of Health data shows that 37.3% of Medicaid members and 39% of privately insured members
