| Popis: | To develop a composite index that serves as a proxy marker of quality of clinical service and pilot test its use in 11 special neonatal care units (SNCUs) across two states in India. Secondary data from SNCU webportal. Special new-born care units in Rajasthan and Orissa. We developed a composite SNCU Quality of care Index (SQCI) based on seven indices from SNCU online database. These included rational admission index, index for rational use of antibiotics, inborn birth asphyxia index, index for mortality in normal weight babies, low birth weight admission index, low birth weight survival index, and optimal bed utilization index. Based on the SQCI score, the performance of SNCUs was labelled as good (SQCI 0.71–1.0), satisfactory (SQCI 0.4–0.7) or unsatisfactory (SQCI |
