[Is the Quality Guideline of Care Delivery of Preterm and Mature Infants (QFR-RL) of the Federal Joint Committee (G-BA) a Quality Risk? - An Analysis of the Fulfillment Rate and the Consequences for Care Delivery to Other IC Patients and Imminent Premature Infants at a Regional Network of Perinatal Centers].

CONCLUSION: 1:1 care as well as lower nurse staffing in late and night shifts lead to non-fulfillment of requirements and poorer care delivery to other intensive care patients. This was also reflected in the lower degree of fulfillment of DGPM recommendations. Sufficient nursing staff capacity was rare with the consequence that it was almost impossible to deliver care to imminent preterm infants per the guideline.
