Objectives: With increasing advances in neonatal transport, a focused research strategy is required to increase the evidence base towards providing optimal care. We aimed to identify the most important neonatal transport research questions as priorit... Read More about Identifying neonatal transport research priorities: a modified Delphi consensus.

Effects of implementation of a care bundle on rates of necrotising enterocolitis and own mother’s milk feeding in the East Midlands: protocol for a mixed methods impact and process evaluation study (2024)
Journal Article
Abramson, J., Szatkowski, L., Bains, M., Orton, E., Budge, H., Spruce, M., & Ojha, S. (2024). Effects of implementation of a care bundle on rates of necrotising enterocolitis and own mother’s milk feeding in the East Midlands: protocol for a mixed methods impact and process evaluation study. BMJ Open, 14(5), Article e078633. https://doi.org/10.1136/bmjopen-2023-078633

Introduction: Prevention of necrotising enterocolitis (NEC) is vital for improving neonatal outcomes. Feeding own mother’s milk helps prevent NEC. Rates of own mother’s milk feeding in the East Midlands are lower than the national average and the inc...

A mixed-methods study to investigate feasibility and acceptability of an early warning score for preterm infants in neonatal units in Kenya: results of the NEWS-K study (2024)
Journal Article
Mitchell, E. J., Aluvaala, J., Bradshaw, L., Daniels, J. P., Emadau, C., Muthumbi, B., …Ojha, S. (2024). A mixed-methods study to investigate feasibility and acceptability of an early warning score for preterm infants in neonatal units in Kenya: results of the NEWS-K study. BMC Pediatrics, 24, Article 326. https://doi.org/10.1186/s12887-024-04778-z

Preterm birth (< 37 weeks gestation) complications are the leading cause of neonatal mortality. Early-warning scores (EWS) are charts where vital signs (e.g., temperature, heart rate, respiratory rate) are recorded, triggering action. To evaluate whe...
