published from January 1st to 27th of December 2020. Two independent reviewers evaluated studies using the STROBE statement in combination with the CERQual quality assessment of findings. Total 1387 articles were screened and a final 24 studies evaluated (220 1st/2nd trimesters COVID-19 pregnant women). 132/220 (60%) were symptomatic, most commonly with fever (86/220=39%) or cough (73/220=33%). Minority of studies reported complications, notably preeclampsia (2/15 patients-13%). 3 cases of maternal death were reported. Majority of neonates had unreported status concerning the outcome of pregnancy. Neonatal death occurred in 17 cases (including one chemical pregnancy, 5 miscarriages, 2 IUFD, 6 stillbirths and 3 abortions) Majority of reported mothers who contracted COVID-19 during 1st/2nd trimesters are yet to complete their pregnancy. Usually, mothers are discharged from the hospital without any serious complications, however, placental inflammation/fibrin deposition and neonatal death has been reported in a number of cases.

Interpretative Comments

Abstract Background This study aimed to evaluate the ability of comment providers who were responsible for interpreting results in clinical laboratories in China and to improve the quality of interpretative comments. Methods Basic information and interpretative comments for five cases of 1912 routine chemistry External Quality Assessment (EQA) participant laboratories were collected by web-based EQA system in May 2018. EQA organizers assigned scores to each key phrase of comments based on predetermined marking scale and calculated total scores for each participant’s answer. Final scores and ranking were calculated according to scores of cases. Finally, we comprehensively analyzed the type of hospital and the professional title of participants. Results In total, 772 clinical laboratories, 1472 participants, from different Chinese provinces submitted interpretative comments. Median scores, interquartile ranges and score ranges of the five cases were 13 (11–15, 1–20), 13 (10–16, 0–20), 15 (12–17, 0–21), 7 (5–9, −2 to 14) and 12 (10–13, −2 to 18). The final scores and ranking of participants that came from tertiary hospitals were higher than those from secondary and other hospitals; however, there were no significant differences (0.774). When grouped by professional title, we found that although no significant variability existed among senior, intermediate, junior and others (0.699), it existed between laboratory physicians and technicians, as the median final scores of the former were higher than the latter. Conclusions Practice and quality of interpretative comments are indeed different among different laboratories and participants in China. Laboratories should train and assess the interpretative ability of personnel. EQA organizers should also improve the scoring method and establish peer assessors team through this survey.

Objective: To achieve the effective construction of NICU nursing quality evaluation index and promote the necessary improvement of the success rate of treatment of critically ill newborns. Methods: The "structure-process-outcome" model was used to construct the necessary logical relationship for NICU nursing quality evaluation indicators. Then the NICU nursing quality evaluation indexes were initially established and defined accordingly. After that, the consultation scoring method was used to carry out the two rounds of questionnaire consultation, which was divided, deleted, and modified in the process. The second round of quality assessment indicators for critical neonatal care were used as research results. The establishment of the corresponding judgment matrix and the determination of the weighting relationship of each evaluation index were realized. Results: Forty-eight experts from 12 tertiary care children's hospitals in 9 provinces and cities in China participated in the questionnaire consultation. After the work, the resulting quality assessment indicators for critical neonatal care were agreed upon by all the experts. Sixty-seven quality indicators for critical neonatal care (18 process indicators) were evaluated based on the Structure-Process-Outcome (SPO) model. The necessary definitional work was achieved for the first round of questionnaire consultations (1 evaluation indicator, 19 structural indicators, 30 outcome indicators). In the first round of questionnaire consultations, eight evaluation indicators were deleted, one evaluation indicator was split, four evaluation indicators were added, and four indicators were added. Two evaluation indicators were combined. In the second round of questionnaire consultation, 5 evaluation indicators were removed, resulting in a more complete quality of care for critically ill newborns. Conclusion: Based on the "structure-process-outcome" model, the 58 indicators for evaluating the quality of tertiary NICU care were fully obtained. The unanimous approval of the consulting experts provides a solid foundation for the later stages of treatment of critically ill neonates.
