Data confidence 70 medium
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

The article presents the work results of Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of National Research Center for Maternal and Child Health. The main goal of the unit is to increase the survival rate of sick newborns, including premature babies. In addition, to minimize the possible complications that lead to increase in the number of people disabled since childhood and impair their quality of life. Realization of this purpose became possible with the introduction of effective evidence-based medical care. As a result, for the period from 2008 to 2016, the survival rate of extremely low birth weight infants (500-999g) increased from 13% to 67% and very low body weight infants from 78% to 98% acordingly.
