Abstract

Authors’ conclusions: results suggest that the Evidence-based Practice for Improving Quality method reduced bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the neonatal ICU and that it may reduce nosocomial infection.

Reviewers’ commentary: although the utilization of Evidence-based Practice for Improving Quality method reduced bronchopulmonary dysplasia in the neonatal ICU and may reduce nosocomial infection, it seems that the effect size of the program might be unspecific and therefore difficult to quantify its impact and specially its applicability to other environments.
