[摘要] BackgroundWe have previously demonstrated that it is difficult to obtain a representative subject sample when conducting a randomized controlled trial (RCT) at or near the time of birth and obtaining antenatal consent. Waiver of consent has been used in neonatal trials, but parents’ reactions to being enrolled in these trials have never been reported.
