AbstractThe objective of this study was to compute yearly neonatal mortality rates (NMRs) in twins and compare these to rates in singletons during the same time period. The focus was on time trends in birthweight-specific twin mortality in the birth population of New York City during the years 1968 to 1986. The study population was all twin livebirths ≥ 500 g birthweight (N = 45,605), with a comparison group of all singleton livebirths in the same birthweight range (N = 2,191,144). Data came from the New York City Department of Health's computerized vital records on livebirths and infant deaths. Between 1968 and 1986 the crude NMR declined 39% in twins and 47% in singletons. In twins there were birthweight-specific declines of 69% to 84% between 1000 g and 2499 g. However, there was only a 19% decline in the twin NMR over 2499 g. This contrasts with a 50% decline in the singleton NMR over 2499 g. In New York City, modern medical care has been remarkably successful in lowering the NMR in low birthweight twins. However, more effort must be made to understand the etiology of perinatal problems in twins with birth weights greater than 2500 g.

The Court of Appeals of New York held, in Council of the City of New York u. Giuliani, slip op. 02634, 1999 WL 179257 (N.Y. Mar. 30, 1999), that New York City may not privatize a public city hospital without state statutory authorization. The court found invalid a sublease of a municipal hospital operated by a public benefit corporation to a private, for-profit entity. The court reasoned that the controlling statute prescribed the operation of a municipal hospital as a government function that must be fulfilled by the public benefit corporation as long as it exists, and nothing short of legislative action could put an end to the corporation's existence.In 1969, the New York State legislature enacted the Health and Hospitals Corporation Act (HHCA), establishing the New York City Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) as an attempt to improve the New York City public health system. Thirty years later, on a renewed perception that the public health system was once again lacking, the city administration approved a sublease of Coney Island Hospital from HHC to PHS New York, Inc. (PHS), a private, for-profit entity.
