Characteristics of non-urgent neonatal presentations to an Australian metropolitan emergency department.

Mothers born overseas and younger maternal age were found to be significant risk factors for NUPs in the neonatal period. There was no apparent impact on presentations and admissions to ED during the COVID-19 period. Further studies are warranted to further evaluate risk factors for NUPs in the neonatal period and further elucidate the impact of COVID-19 on presentations and admissions, specifically in later waves of the virus.
