Romanian Regionalization of the Perinatal Care
From 2006:
• Step-by-step implementation of the regionalization
• Main obstacles:
• Insufficient staff in the level III units
• Low rate of submissions from level I to level II units
• DRG reimbursements
• Occurrence of the private maternity hospitals – not
graded yet
• Insufficient neonatal cardiac surgery and neurosurgery
departments

methodology in order to help physicians to take rational
decisions, according to specific clinical circumstances;
• the statements of the guidelines are systematically
elaborated based on scientific evidences

National Neonatology Clinical Guidelines
• SIGN methodology for the guidelines development:
• What (how), who, when?
• Levels of evidence
Level Ia Evidence from the meta-analysis of randomized controlled studies
Level Ib Evidence from at least one randomized controlled study, well structured
Level IIa Evidence from at least one clinical controlled, not randomized, well structured study
Level IIb Evidence from at least an quasi-experimental, well structured study, preferably multicenter
Level III Evidence from descriptive, well structured studies
Level IV Evidence from expert committees or clinical experience of recognized experts as authorities in that field
The International Neonatology Conference, Kyiv 2013
National Neonatology Clinical Guidelines
• SIGN methodology for the guidelines development:
• What (how), who, when?
• Grading the evidence
Grade A At least one randomized, controlled study as part of a list of quality studies published on the subject of the recommendation (level of evidence Ia or Ib).
Grade B At least some well controlled clinical studies, not randomized, published on the subject of the recommendation (level of evidence IIa, IIb, or III).
Grade C Evidence from reports or opinions of expert committees or from the clinical experience of recognized authorities in the subject filed (level of evidence IV). Indicates lack of good quality clinical studies on the subject of the recommendation.
Grade E Good practice recommendations based on the clinical experience of the editing working group of the guideline.
The International Neonatology Conference, Kyiv 2013
National Neonatology Clinical Guidelines
• SIGN methodology for the guidelines development:
• What (how), who, when?
• Grading the recommendations
Standard Norms that have to be rigidly applied and must be followed in almost all the cases, exceptions being rare and hard to justify.
Recommendation Norms with low level of flexibility, less powerful than standards. When not applied this has to be rationally, logically justified, and documented.
Option Neutral as regards choosing a conduct, indicates that multiple types of interventions exist and that different physicians may take different decisions. Options may contribute to teaching process and don’t need justification.
