Healthcare professionals' availability for management of preterm neonates < 29 weeks' gestation in 12 iNeo neonatal networks
Marked variations exist in health care professionals' availability, which might be associated with NICU organization and management of infants <29 weeks' gestation. While majority of NICU have reported 24/7 availability of neonatologists, the availability of other healthcare professionals was inconsistent. Nurse-to-patient ratio has improved. Further evaluation is needed to understand how these variations are associated with outcomes of extremely preterm infants and to optimize resource utilization.
