Aims and Scopes

The journal 'Clinics in Perinatology' focuses on the latest advancements in the field of perinatal medicine, emphasizing the health and development of neonates and the challenges faced by high-risk newborns and their families. It aims to disseminate research findings that contribute to improving clinical practice, outcomes, and quality of care in perinatology.
  1. Neonatal Neurology and Neurodevelopment:
    The journal extensively covers research related to neonatal neurological conditions, including hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, its biomarkers, treatment approaches, and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes.
  2. Perinatal Asphyxia and Therapeutic Interventions:
    A significant focus is placed on perinatal asphyxia, exploring causes, terminology, and treatment methods such as therapeutic hypothermia, with an emphasis on improving newborn outcomes.
  3. Preterm Birth and Its Complications:
    Research on preterm birth, including its prediction, prevention strategies, and the management of associated complications, is a core area of focus, highlighting innovative solutions and interventions.
  4. Pulmonary Hypertension in Neonates:
    The journal addresses the complexities of neonatal pulmonary hypertension, covering its pathophysiology, management strategies, and the impact of therapies like inhaled nitric oxide.
  5. Nutrition and Feeding Practices for Neonates:
    Topics related to neonatal nutrition, including enteral and parenteral feeding practices, human milk fortification, and the role of nutrition in long-term outcomes, are thoroughly explored.
  6. Quality Improvement and Safety in Neonatal Care:
    The journal emphasizes quality improvement methodologies and strategies for enhancing safety and care delivery in neonatal intensive care units, with a focus on family-centered approaches.
The journal 'Clinics in Perinatology' is adapting to new challenges and advancements in perinatal medicine, with several emerging themes gaining traction in recent publications. These trends reflect the evolving landscape of neonatal care and the increasing complexity of issues faced by healthcare providers.
  1. Biomarkers in Neonatal Conditions:
    Recent publications emphasize the discovery and application of biomarkers in diagnosing and managing neonatal conditions, particularly in hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and preterm birth, indicating a trend towards precision medicine.
  2. Innovations in Neuroimaging Techniques:
    There is a growing interest in advanced neuroimaging techniques that enhance understanding of neonatal brain health, enabling better diagnosis and monitoring of conditions affecting neurodevelopment.
  3. Ethical Considerations in Neonatal Care:
    A notable increase in discussions surrounding ethical and legal perspectives in neonatal treatment reflects the complexity of decision-making in high-stakes clinical environments.
  4. Integration of Palliative Care in Neonatal Practice:
    The integration of palliative care approaches into neonatal treatment paradigms is emerging as a significant theme, highlighting the need for compassionate care for infants with severe conditions.
  5. Focus on Global Health Disparities:
    Research addressing health disparities and access to neonatal care in low-resource settings is gaining prominence, underscoring the journal's commitment to global health issues affecting neonates.

Declining or Waning

While 'Clinics in Perinatology' has consistently focused on critical areas of research, some themes appear to be declining in prominence based on recent publications. This may reflect shifting priorities in the field or advancements that have led to saturation of previous discussions.
  1. General Neonatal Infections:
    Research on general neonatal infections, while still relevant, has seen a decrease in focus as newer, more specific infectious diseases and their management gain attention in the literature.
  2. Traditional Neonatal Resuscitation Techniques:
    The coverage of traditional neonatal resuscitation techniques has waned, likely due to a shift towards more evidence-based practices and innovative approaches in neonatal care.
  3. Basic Nutritional Guidelines:
    Basic nutritional guidelines for neonates are becoming less emphasized as research shifts towards more complex topics such as personalized nutrition and the microbiome's role in neonatal health.
  4. Historical Perspectives on Perinatal Practices:
    Historical analyses of perinatal practices are becoming less frequent, as the journal prioritizes contemporary research and emerging practices that directly impact current clinical care.
  5. Pharmacologic Treatments in Isolation:
    There has been a decline in papers focusing solely on pharmacologic treatments without considering integrated care approaches, reflecting a broader move towards holistic and multidisciplinary treatment strategies.
