The patients were observed in a multidisciplinary prenatal diagnosis centre and subsequently delivered a newborn infant, who was then admitted to the neonatology department of the same hospital, between January 2020 and December 2022.

The study utilised a 16-item questionnaire to evaluate the quality of information received during antenatal diagnosis consultations and its congruence with subsequent experiences following birth and hospitalisation of the infant. The questionnaire encompassed seven questions pertaining to consultation arrangements, including duration, frequency and unit visits, six questions addressing the received information, and three questions exploring the long-term outcomes of the child.

In summary, did the information provided during the consultation with the paediatrician correspond to the events that transpired during your child's hospitalisation ? Patients are invited to indicate their level of agreement or disagreement with a series of four statements by selecting one of four options : 'not at all', 'to some extent', 'almost' or 'completely'.
