Improving NICU outcomes –A worldwide endeavor

In this volume of The Journal, D ’Apremont et al report on mortality and morbidity outcomes over 15 years (2001-2016) for nearly 14 000 very low birthweight infants (500-1500 grams) at NEOCOSUR centers (30 Neonatal Units from Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Paraguay, Peru, and Uruguay). While many national and international NICU collec tives from the US, Canada, Europe, Australia, and Japan have published large scale NICU outcome data, D’Apremont et al provide the first substantial multi-year report from a similar NICU collaborative based in middle-income countries.
