Abstract
Substantial improvements in neonatal care have been documented over the past decade.1 From 2005 to 2014, rates of death before discharge and serious morbidities decreased among neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) in the United States; by 2014, most NICUs achieved rates of performance equivalent to the best quartile of the 2005 benchmark.1,2 In fact, 98% of NICUs achieved the risk-adjusted rate of mortality of the best 10% of units in 2005.2 Despite these improvements, wide variation in mortality and serious morbidities exist across NICUs.1,3,4Keywords
