Rates of baby deaths continued to decrease in 2023, mostly due to a reduction in stillbirths. Compared with 2022, stillbirth rates were lower in every nation of the UK and fewer newborns died in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland. @TIMMSleicester

TORPIDO 30/60 🚀 trial of starting FiO2 60% vs 30% in the DR for infants <29w gestation
Almost 1500 babies, mean GA about 27w. 80% enrolled via waiver.
No difference in death or brain injury at 36w 😞

6 RCTs were presented at the first neonatal clinical trials session @PASMeeting
To summarize:

2 large trials - no diff
2 medium trials - hypothesis generating
1 tiny trial - no diff
Are we doing trials right? #neotwitter
