Characteristics of participants and total amount of failures were collected. Failures were subdivided in (1) errors of omission; (2) errors of commission; and (3) unspecified if data was missing. Pearson\u2019s chi-squared test was used to assess differences between participant groups. In total, 23 out of 86 participants (27%) failed their NLS test scenario. Life support course instructors in general (20\/21) passed their test scenario more often compared to other participants (43\/65) (<jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic> = 0.008). In total 110 fail items were recorded; the most common errors being not assessing heart rate (error of omission) (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 47) and inadequate performance of airway management (error of commission) (<jats:italic>n<\/jats:italic> = 24).<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:italic>Conclusion<\/jats:italic>: A substantial part of NALS participants failed their NLS test scenario. Errors of omission could be reduced by the availability of a checklist\/NLS algorithm. Life support course instructors possibly make less errors of commission due to retention of skills by teaching these skills at least twice a year. Therefore, our study suggests that neonatal basic life support skills should be retained by local assurance of training programmes.<jats:table-wrap><jats:table><jats:tbody>\n                    <jats:tr>\n                      <jats:td colspan=\"2\"><jats:bold>What is Known:<\/jats:bold><jats:italic>\u2022 Retention of skills after life support courses decreases after three months.<\/jats:italic><jats:italic>\u2022 Adherence to newborn life support guidelines is suboptimal<\/jats:italic>.<\/jats:td>\n                    <\/jats:tr>\n                    <jats:tr>\n                      <jats:td colspan=\"2\"><jats:bold>What is New:<\/jats:bold><jats:italic>\u2022 NLS performance is suboptimal in participants for advanced neonatal life support.<\/jats:italic><jats:italic>\u2022 Most common failures are not assessing heart rate and inadequate airway management.<\/jats:italic><\/jats:td>\n                    <\/jats:tr>\n                  <\/jats:tbody><\/jats:table><\/jats:table-wrap><\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1007\/s00431-020-03917-9","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,14]],"date-time":"2021-01-14T03:30:49Z","timestamp":1610595049000},"page":"1647-1651","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/springer_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Performing newborn life support in advance of neonatal advanced life support course\u2014back to basics?"],"prefix":"10.1007","volume":"180","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-5143-2845","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Tim","family":"Hundscheid","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jos","family":"Bruinenberg","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Jeroen","family":"Dudink","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Rogier","family":"de Jonge","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Marije","family":"Hogeveen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"297","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2021,1,13]]},"reference":[{"issue":"8","key":"3917_CR1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"151174","DOI":"10.1053\/j.semperi.2019.08.003","volume":"43","author":"NK Yamada","year":"2019","unstructured":"Yamada NK, Catchpole K, Salas E (2019) The role of human factors in neonatal patient safety.
