Abstract Little is known regarding the characteristics of newborns with congenital cutaneous hemangioma (CH) and the burden of CH on newborn care. The objective of this study is to describe the burden of CH on newborn inpatient stays in the United States. Specific aims include characterizing newborns with CH, assessing factors predictive of CH and procedures performed during hospitalization, determining characteristics associated with increased cost of care and length of stay in newborns with CH, and investigating trends in prevalence, length of stay, and cost of care. This is a nationally representative retrospective cohort study (National Inpatient Sample, 2009–2015). Sociodemographic factors associated with CH and risk factors for increased cost of care/length of stay were evaluated using weighted multivariable regression models. Overall prevalence of CH is 17.0 per 10,000 newborns. Cost of care and length of stay for newborns with CH are increasing over time. Controlling for all covariates, white (aOR 1.69), female (aOR 1.52) newborns from higher income families (aOR 1.44) were more likely to be born with CH (p
