Consent rates in families approached for consent
The consent rate in parents of eligible infants approached for consent has not changed significantly from the Pre-COVID epoch through Post-COVID-2. The dramatic decrease in the percent consented during COVID-1 epoch was not statistically significant. During the Pre-COVID epoch 31 of 144 (21.5%) families approached provided consent. In comparison to the Pre-COVID period, the consent rates for the subsequent four study epochs are: one of 17 (5.9%, AOR 0.2; 95% CI 0.0, 1.8), 19 of 72 (26.4%, AOR 1.4; 95% CI 0.7, 2.8), 21 of 132 (15.9%, 0.8; 95% CI 0.4, 1.4) and 38 of 158 (24.1%, AOR 1.3; 95% CI 0.7. 2.2), respectively.
