An interventional study of Quality improvement of breast milk feeding in Quality Improvement and Breast Milk, sponsored by Nanjing Medical University. Completed. Open to participants aged Up to 120 Days. Per ClinicalTrials.gov, last updated 2021-11-01.
Sponsored by Nanjing Medical University · Not applicable, Interventional, and Health services research
Twenty-seven hospitals in China will participate in the study, which aims to increase breastfeeding rate in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and reduce the clinical complications in very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants.
Breast milk reduces the risk of serious prematurity related morbidities. Quality improvement is an effective means of increasing breast milk feeding.Twenty-seven hospitals in China will participate in the study, which aims to increase breastfeeding rate in the NICU and reduce the clinical complications in very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants. This study compared the clinical data of very low birth weight infants and extremely low birth weight infants in three phases：Before-intervention phase，Intervention phase and Sustainability phase. During the Intervention phase and Sustainability phase multiple intervention bundles of quality improvement were implemented.The investigators will compare breast milk feeding rate and neonatal outcomes in different phases.
Exclusion Criteria:
All the very low birth weight (VLBW) and extremely low birth weight (ELBW) infants who were admitted from January 2017 to December 2017 to the NICUs of different hospitals.
All the VLBW and ELBW infants who were admitted from January 2018 to December 2018 to the NICUs.During this phase,multiple intervention bundles of quality improvement will be implemented.
Behavioral: Quality improvement of breast milk feeding
All the VLBW and ELBW infants who were admitted from January 2019 to December 2019to the NICUs.In the Sustainability intervention phase,multiple intervention bundles of quality improvement will be continuous implemented.
Behavioral: Quality improvement of breast milk feeding
During the Intervention phase and Sustainability phase ,The NICUs will receive training of multiple evidence based quality improvement methods.
