“…This study aimed to evaluate the resuscitation practices of high-risk infants in a large multi-country sample of healthcare facilities among HICs and LMICs in Asia under the AsianNeo Network.MethodsIn 2021, a customized 6-item online survey on resuscitation practices of infants born at <29 weeks gestation (or birth weight <1,200 g) was sent by the representative of each country's neonatal network to all the Neonatal Intensive Care Units (NICUs) participating in AsianNeo network. At the time of the survey, there were 446 participating hospitals in eight countries: four high-income countries (Japan, Singapore, South Korea, and Taiwan) and four low-middle-income countries (Malaysia, Indonesia, Philippines, and Thailand).ResultsThe study included 446 hospitals, with a response rate of 72.6% (ranging from 62.7% to 100%), with 179 (55.2%) in HICs and 145 (44.7%) in LMICs. …”
