05/01/2015 - "To study the impact of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) surveillance on the incidence of MRSA-related bloodstream infection (BSI) in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and to evaluate cost-effectiveness of MRSA surveillance. "
12/01/2013 - "This study was aimed to identify the knowledge of the nursing team of a Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) on infection control, identijfying the factors that facilitate or hinder the prevention and control of Healthcare Associated Infections (HICAI). "

05/01/2004 - "This study compared the efficacy of a behavioral pain reducing intervention (facilitated tucking) with standard neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) care for decreasing procedural pain (endotracheal suctioning) in very low birthweight (VLBW) infants. "
01/01/2013 - "The purpose of this study is to examine the sustained efficacy of KMC, provided during all routine painful procedures for the duration of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) hospitalization, in diminishing behavioral pain response in preterm neonates. "
07/01/2012 - "The findings support that KC is a safe and effective pain intervention in the neonatal intensive care unit."
03/01/2014 - "This was a feasibility pilot study to evaluate the efficacy of the nonpharmacologic pain management technique of gentle human touch (GHT) in reducing pain response to heel stick in premature infants in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). "
06/01/2005 - "This review of the current literature investigates the efficacy of non-pharmacological nursing interventions in the management of pain in the neonatal intensive care unit. "

05/01/2008 - "The higher rates of very premature birth and more ready admission to neonatal intensive care for infants in the UK may help to explain why perinatal and neonatal mortality are higher there than in Australia. "
11/27/1995 - "During the last ten years the rate of preterm birth has remained unchanged, and even though advances in neonatal intensive care have improved the chances of survival of the preterm child, the mortality remains high. "
10/01/1979 - "While the high risk infants' prognosis for normal development has been greatly improved by modern neonatal intensive care, premature birth, low birthweight and perinatal complications involving compromised brain function still represent major risk factors. "
07/01/2015 - "Five main themes resuming fathers' experience of preterm birth and Neonatal Intensive Care Unit stay were identified from 14 studies. "
01/01/2015 - "There was no evidence of a difference between groups in elective delivery (RR 0.98, 95% CI 0.84 to 1.14, two trials, 740 participants (low quality evidence)), caesarean section (one trial, RR 0.48, 95% CI 0.15 to 1.52, one trial, 118 participants (low quality evidence)), change in anxiety score (mean difference -2.40, 95% CI -4.78 to -0.02, one trial, 118 participants), admissions to neonatal intensive care (RR 0.32, 95% CI 0.03 to 3.01, one trial, 118 participants), and preterm birth before 37 weeks' gestation (RR 2.90, 95% CI 0.12 to 69.81, one trial, 118 participants). "

02/01/1997 - "Although the outcome of extremely preterm of critically ill infants has significantly improved over the last decade, many are often left to die at birth by withholding resuscitation or neonatal intensive care. "
01/01/1990 - "With improved survival of critically ill premature infants, BPD has become an important sequela of neonatal intensive care. "
01/01/2014 - "Survival of critically ill neonates in the intensive care unit has improved over the past decades reflecting improvements in obstetric, delivery room and neonatal intensive care, however, morbidity remains significant. "
02/01/1995 - "However, there have been several recent innovations, both in the surgical approach and in techniques of neonatal intensive care, which have improved the outlook for some of these critically ill infants."
