Area of Science:

  • Neonatology
  • Public Health
  • Data Science

Background:

  • South Korea faces increasing rates of preterm births despite a low overall birth rate.
  • Premature infants, particularly very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs), account for most neonatal deaths and complications.
  • VLBWIs require specialized care in neonatal intensive care units (NICUs).

Purpose of the Study:

  • To establish and maintain a national multicenter network for very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs) in South Korea.
  • To facilitate data-driven health-care policy development and neonatal research.
  • To improve the prognosis of high-risk newborns and reduce healthcare costs.

Main Methods:

  • The Korean Neonatal Network (KNN) was launched in 2013, supported by the Korean Society of Neonatology and the Korea Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
  • A prospective, web-based registry collects data from approximately 2,000 VLBWIs annually across 60 participating NICUs.
  • Unique systems include real-time data display and site-visit monitoring for data quality surveillance.

Main Results:

  • The KNN has successfully registered a significant number of VLBWIs since its inception.
  • Unique data management and quality surveillance systems have been implemented.
  • The network provides a foundation for population-based, data-driven research and policy-making.

Conclusions:

  • The KNN is crucial for advancing evidence-based neonatal medicine in Korea.
  • Continued maintenance and development of the KNN are essential for improving neonatal care outcomes.
  • The network supports the generation of health policies, facilitates research, and aims to reduce healthcare costs.
