You may qualify if…
- Cigna customers as follows:
- Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) cohort: infants born at 30 weeks gestational age or less, or with a birthweight less than 1500 grams.
- Critical Congenital Heart Disease (CCHD) cohort: Newborns with critical congenital heart defects who undergo surgery by 12 months of life.
- Oncology cohort: Patients with new onset (not relapses) pediatric oncologic diagnoses including liquid, solid, and brain cancer.
- Severe Neurological Impairment (NI) cohort: Patients with severe neurologic impairments, associated with substantial functional impairment, relentless progressive deterioration, or substantially shortened life-spans.
- For each index patient in a particular SPI cohort, Investigators randomly identified up to four children of the same ages as the index patient but who do not have the specific SPI. The matching by age was as follows: in months if < 3 years; and in years if age > or = 3 years. Cigna then identified all family members, using both definitions of "family members" described above.
