Saving Babies in North England (SaBiNE)
ثبت نشده
چکیده
A four month intensive training programme of the Growth Assessment Protocol was implemented across 3 North of England regions in 2015, with the help of designated clinical midwives seconded for the duration of the project. The intervention resulted in significant increases in antenatal referral and detection of babies born small for gestational age. During the same period, the stillbirth rates in each of the three regions dropped to their lowest ever levels and resulted in 84 fewer deaths, while there was no change in the rest of England. The project was also highly cost effective in terms of savings in direct and indirect costs, with an estimated 14 fold overall return on investment.
