Variable interpretation of ultrasonograms may contribute to variation in the reported incidence of white matter damage between newborn intensive care units in New Zealand

Background: The incidence of cerebral white matter damage reported to the Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network (ANZNN) varies between neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Hypothesis: Differences in the capture, storage, and interpretation of the cerebral ultrasound scans could account for s...

Zusammenfassung:	Background: The incidence of cerebral white matter damage reported to the Australian and New Zealand Neonatal Network (ANZNN) varies between neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Hypothesis: Differences in the capture, storage, and interpretation of the cerebral ultrasound scans could account for some of this variation. Methods: A total of 255 infants of birth weight
