Establishment of neonatal homogeneity platform for clinical and scientific research / 中华围产医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Neonatal medicine in China has been developing rapidly in recent years,but there is a considerable gap in clinical statistics and studies between China and developed countries.Since 1990s,some international neonatal homogeneity platforms such as the Vermont-Oxford Network and the Canadian Neonatal Network,in which a unified collaboration network database was applied,have been established to share the homogeneous data of all network databases in neonatal clinical and scientific research.These platforms have greatly promoted the progress of neonatal clinical studies in both Europe and America.Yet,we have not seen great breakthroughs in clinical big data analysis in neonatal medicine in China.Here,we discussed the critical role of establishing neonatal homogeneity platform in clinical and scientific research.
