Preterm baby guidelines are first of their kind in Australia
Manage episode 425463192 series 5385
A new set of guidelines from the Murdoch Children's Research Institute will help more than 3000 very preterm babies born in Australia annually. With around 60 per cent of these babies experiencing health and development difficulties later in life, experts say post-discharge care is often inconsistent and confusing for parents. The guidelines offer a schedule of care for all babies from the time they leave hospital up to school age so problems can be better identified and treated.
