Description of intervention(s) / exposure
This project uses a quantitative research methodology that will collect data using a prospective population based registry via a RedCap™ online database. Data collected on the study database is already routinely collected clinical data such as resuscitation details at birth, APGAR scores, need for ICU or HDU admission, feeding details and follow-up at 2 years of age.
All data collection will occur from relevant hospital records and no specific input from patients is required.
This methodology is appropriate to answer the research question because it allows for de-identified input from multiple study sites, and ongoing quantitative analysis and reporting including longer term outcomes for neonates at 2 years of age.
