I have a colleague who is interested in surveying European neonatologists about acute kidney injury. Is there a society of Europe (like the AAP in the US) that anyone would recommend to start with?

Gestational age may be a factor (i.e. 25 weeks with CPAP vs. term) - more than likely I would still give 2 points if spontaneously breathing consistently.

All - We have just posted Volume 4, Issue 1 of the e-Journal of Neonatology Research at www.neonatologyresearch.com. Please take a look and tell us what you think (eneoresearch@gmail.com). We are also looking for papers for our next issue that demonstrate good science but may have had difficulty getting published (negative studies are a good example!). We are happy to help with English grammar, etc if needed. Thanks!

Excellent paper by Profit et al. "Formal selection of measure for a composite index of NICU quality of care: Baby-MONITOR." Journal of Perinatology 2011; 31:702-710.
