Neonatal near-miss audits: a systematic review and a call to action.
Medeiros PB, Bailey C, Pollock D, et al. Neonatal near-miss audits: a systematic review and a call to action. BMC Pediatr. 2023;23(1):573. doi:10.1186/s12887-023-04383-6.
Near-miss events are often underreported, despite presenting opportunities for organizational learning and system changes. This systematic review identified no studies evaluating the effectiveness of neonatal near-miss audits for reducing perinatal morbidity and mortality, underscoring the need for well-designed, ethical studies examining this research question.
