About this study

NeoDeco is a pragmatic, multicenter, parallel-group, cluster-randomised hybrid effectiveness-implementation trial designed to evaluate the impact of implementing optimised Kangaroo Care (KC) at the unit level compared to standard care in high-technology neonatal units. The trial includes a baseline period, a wash-in phase, and a staggered randomisation approach. The primary focus of the NeoDeco study is on high-risk preterm infants born at less than 32 weeks' gestational age, a population particularly vulnerable to hospital-acquired infections and sepsis during their initial hospital stay. By investigating hospital-acquired infections specifically, the study targets the period during which optimised KC practices are likely to have the most significant impact.
