Abstract

Neonatal transport is a crucial aspect of clinical work in neonatology, aimed at timely and safely transferring high-risk neonates from birth facilities or primary healthcare institutions to neonatal centers equipped for critical care. This ensures timely diagnosis and treatment, thereby reducing mortality and complications and improving outcomes. Currently, there is significant regional variation in neonatal transport practices across China. In response, the Subspecialty Group of Neonatology of Society of Pediatrics of Chinese Medical Association and the Editorial Board of Chinese Journal of Contemporary Pediatrics have jointly developed the "Guideline for the diagnosis and treatment of common neonatal diseases in primary healthcare institutions: neonatal transport (2025)". This guideline addresses 10 clinical issues related to neonatal transport and formulates 18 recommendations based on the best available evidence and expert consensus. It aims to provide a systematic approach to neonatal transport in primary care settings, tailored to the national context of China, offering guidance and decision-making support for primary healthcare providers.
