The research of 52 million births from 26 countries, published in Nature Human Behavior, reported a 3-4 per cent reduction overall in preterm births, averting almost 50,000 preterm pregnancies during the first month of lockdown alone. But the decrease in preterm births was limited to only high-income countries including Australia. The International Perinatal Outcomes in the Pandemic (iPOP) Study, one of the largest such studies of its kind, involved 167 collaborators across 42 countries. Murdoch Children’s Research Institute co-led the project alongside The Children’s Hospital Research Institute of Manitoba, University of Manitoba, The University of Edinburgh and UNSW Sydney. #preemiefamily #preterm #prematurebabiesawareness #neonatolgy #neonatal #prematurity #earlybaby #earlybabies #premature #research #nicuparents #nann #NICU https://www.instagram.com/p/Cpvrxnaqzb2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
