Using administrative data to predict the outcomes of prematurity (EB-POC): a protocol for a linkage study from an Australian Neonatal Network

Approval was obtained from the ACT Human Research Ethics Committee (2022.LRE.00164 and 2024.LRE.00188), ACT Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Consumer Reference Group and the eight data custodians. The results are expected to be released in December 2025. The results will be presented at medical conferences and published in peer-reviewed academic journals. The calculator will be available free of charge through a user-friendly website and a mobile app, enabling prospective parents of premature babies and clinicians to make evidence-based, personalised, precision-based decisions.
