Inter‐hospital variations in the respiratory outcomes of very and extremely pre‐term infants: A cohort study in Japan
Outcome variations in the BPD were observed among hospitals in Japan, even after adjusting for individual factors, including gestational age, birthweight, comorbidities, and treatments. Thus, in Japan, developing strategies is essential to decrease the BPD rates, while minimising inter-hospital heterogeneity, to improve the healthcare quality for pre-term neonates.
