    This guideline covers preventing bacterial infection in healthy babies of up to and including 28 days corrected gestational age, treating pregnant women whose unborn baby is at risk of infection, and caring for babies of up to and including 28 days corrected gestational age with a suspected or confirmed bacterial infection. It aims to reduce delays in recognising and treating infection and prevent unnecessary use of antibiotics. The guideline does not cover viral infections.

  2. Neonatal parenteral nutrition (NG154)

    This quality standard covers preventing bacterial infection in newborn babies, treating pregnant women and pregnant people whose babies are at risk of infection, and treating newborn babies with suspected or confirmed bacterial infection. It includes when to give antibiotics to prevent and treat neonatal bacterial infection and describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement. This includes early-onset (within 72 hours of birth) and late-onset (between 72 hours and 28 days following birth) neonatal infection.

  4. Neonatal parenteral nutrition (QS205)

    This quality standard covers parenteral nutrition (intravenous feeding) for babies born preterm, up to 28 days after their due birth date, and babies born at term, up to 28 days after their birth. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

  9. Developmental follow-up of children and young people born preterm (NG72)

    This guideline covers the developmental follow-up of babies, children and young people under 18 years who were born preterm (before 37+0 weeks of pregnancy). It explains the risk of different developmental problems and disorders, and specifies what extra assessments and support children born preterm might need during their growth and development.

  10. Developmental follow-up of children and young people born preterm (QS169)

    This quality standard covers the developmental follow-up of babies, children and young people under 18 years who were born preterm (before 37+0 weeks of pregnancy). It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

  11. Jaundice in newborn babies under 28 days (QS57)

    This quality standard covers recognising and managing jaundice in newborn babies (neonatal jaundice), from birth to 28 days, in primary care (including community care) and secondary care. It describes high-quality care in priority areas for improvement.

  12. Pregnancy and neonates: neonatal deaths or still births (IND21)

    This indicator covers the proportion of pregnancies resulting in a neonatal death or still birth. It measures outcomes that reflect the quality of care or processes linked by evidence to improved outcomes. This indicator was previously published as CCG34

  13. Jaundice in newborn babies under 28 days (CG98)

    This guideline covers diagnosing and treating jaundice, which is caused by increased levels of bilirubin in the blood, in newborn babies (neonates). It aims to help detect or prevent very high levels of bilirubin, which can be harmful if not treated.

  14. Preterm labour and birth (NG25)

    This guideline covers the care of women with a singleton pregnancy at increased risk of, or with symptoms and signs of, preterm labour (before 37 weeks), and women with a singleton pregnancy having a planned preterm birth. It aims to reduce the risks of preterm birth for the baby and describes treatments to prevent or delay early labour and birth.
