Scope
The scope of the prioritisation process was developed and agreed by the steering group. Research questions had to be relevant to high-income neonatal care settings and proposed interventions expected to be delivered by neonatal teams. This included care provided on delivery suites, neonatal units, transitional care units and postnatal wards, during neonatal transport and within the community by neonatal teams after inpatient neonatal care. Research at pre-RCT stages of the translational pipeline was outside the scope of the process.
