Patient Inclusion. A total of 890 in-born infants with a BW < 1500 g were enrolled in the study; 49 infants were excluded because they were out-born; 20 infants were excluded because their mother had a fever during delivery (temperature ≥ 38.4 °C). Additionally, 64infants with redirection of intensive care and 7 infants with missing temperature data were excluded. The remaining 750 VLBWIs were included in this analysis, 270 infants in pre-QI phase and 480 infants in post-QI phase, respectively. (*: limited care (not intensifying medical treatment) or withdrawal of care; Maternal hyperthermia*: mothers had a fever temperature (≥ 38.4 °C) during delivery)
