    Robson classification and obstetric risk profiles were used to stratify severity of care among NICU-admitted neonates.

    40.4% of NICU-admitted neonates required level 3 care, associated with lower gestational age and birth weight.

    Each additional week of gestation decreased the likelihood of requiring level 3 NICU care, with an OR of 0.82.
