Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network Data 2007

Abstract

The data has been collected by the Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network (ANZNN) to improve the care of high-risk newborn infants and their families in Australian and New Zealand through collaborative audit and research. This is the thirteenth year that the ANZNN has collected data, allowing comparative reporting over time. There were 6,358 babies from 22 level III NICUs in Australia and 1,644 babies from six level III NICUs in New Zealand registered to ANZNN in 2007.
