ABSTRACT
INTRODUCTION:
Preterm birth complications and neonatal asphyxia are the leading causes of neonatal mortality worldwide. Surviving preterm and asphyxiated newborns can develop neurological sequelae; therefore, timely and appropriate neonatal resuscitation is important to decrease neonatal mortality and disability rates. There are very few systematic studies on neonatal resuscitation in China, and its prognosis remains unclear. We established an online registry for neonatal resuscitation in Shenzhen based on Utstein's model and designed a prospective, multicentre, open, observational cohort study to address many of the limitations of existing studies. The aim of this study is to explore the implementation and management, risk factors and outcomes of neonatal resuscitation in Shenzhen. METHODS ANDANALYSIS:
This prospective, multicentre, open, observational cohort study will be conducted between January 2024 and December 2026 and will include >1500 newborns resuscitated at birth by positive pressure ventilation at five hospitals in Shenzhen, located in the south-central coastal area of Guangdong province, China. Maternal and infant information, resuscitation information, hospitalisation information and follow-up information will be collected. Maternal and infant information, resuscitation information and hospitalisation information will be collected from the clinical records of the patients. Follow-up information will include the results of follow-up examinations and outcomes, which will be recorded using the WeChat applet 'Resuscitation Follow-up'. These data will be provided by the neonatal guardians through the applet on their mobile phones. This study will provide a more comprehensive understanding of the implementation and management, risk factors and outcomes of neonatal resuscitation in Shenzhen; the findings will ultimately contribute to the reduction of neonatal mortality and disability rates in Shenzhen. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION Our protocol has been approved by the Medical Ethics Committee of Shenzhen Luohu People's Hospital (2023-LHQRMYY-KYLL-048). We will present the study results at academic conferences and peer-reviewed paediatrics journals. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ChiCTR2300077368.Mots clés
