AbstractFor more than 30 years, the Neonatal Research Network (NRN) has conducted studies addressing the epidemiology of neonatal infections, including incidence, microbiology, maternal and neonatal risk factors, associated clinical findings, and outcomes. These studies have provided clinicians and policymakers critical data needed to inform national guidance for infection risk assessment and support daily practice. Further, NRN studies have prompted research into optimal approaches to infection diagnosis, treatment, and antimicrobial stewardship. In this article, we summarize the key findings of NRN infection-related studies, with an emphasis on those published in 2000 or later.
