Neonatal outcomes of preterm or very-low-birth-weight infants over a decade from Queen Mary Hospital, Hong Kong: comparison with the Vermont Oxford Network.

A regular benchmarking process is crucial to audit any change in clinical outcomes after implementation of a local quality improvement project. PMID: 28684649 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
