A sustained reduction in the rate of severe intraventricular hemorrhage in very low birth weight infants: a novel quality improvement project in a large perinatal-neonatal centre in Asia
A multipronged modified QI approach implementing an evidence-based SIVH prevention bundle and RC-PC-S analysis was associated with a sustained significant reduction in the rate of SIVH in VLBW infants. RC-PC-S is a potential QI tool for reducing severe IVH and other key neonatal morbidities in VLBW infants.
