Summary
Dr Ravi Patel, recorded at the Hot Topics 2025 conference, examines the tension between quality improvement and evidence-based medicine, arguing NICUs should standardise high-certainty interventions such as antenatal steroids and delayed cord clamping and use GRADE to judge evidence certainty. He discusses prospective evaluation of new practices such as Eat Sleep Console and the role of family values and shared decision-making when evidence is uncertain.
