The European Standards of Care for Newborn Health (ESCNH) were launched in 2018. After three years, the first standards were reassessed and revised to align with current evidence. Moreover, new standards regarding emerging topics were developed. The aim of this paper is to outline the approach adopted for reassessing, revising and developing new standards for the ESCNH. We established a systematic approach to reassess the ESCNH including a public and an expert consultation. The public consultation was open to all stakeholders for feedback whereas the expert consultation followed a targeted consultation method. For developing new standards, a similar process to the original development was implemented. Overall, 20 standards were reassessed and six standards were developed. For the revision process, 23 experts were involved in the targeted consultation method and 253 questionnaires were completed via the open consultation. We demonstrated a systematic approach to update and extend reference standards, which can be applied by other developers of standards. Thereby, we highlighted that including a public and an expert consultation is crucial to improve quality and to ensure that all stakeholder perspectives are integrated.
《欧洲新生儿健康护理标准》（ESCNH）于2018年发布。三年后，对首批标准进行了重新评估和修订，以使其与当前证据保持一致。此外，还制定了关于新出现主题的新标准。本文旨在概述为重新评估、修订和制定ESCNH新标准所采用的方法。我们建立了一种系统的方法来重新评估ESCNH，包括公众咨询和专家咨询。公众咨询向所有利益相关者开放以征求反馈意见，而专家咨询则采用有针对性的咨询方法。对于制定新标准，实施了与最初制定过程类似的流程。总体而言，重新评估了20项标准，制定了6项标准。在修订过程中，23名专家参与了有针对性的咨询方法，通过公开咨询完成了253份问卷。我们展示了一种更新和扩展参考标准的系统方法，其他标准制定者也可应用该方法。因此，我们强调，纳入公众咨询和专家咨询对于提高质量以及确保整合所有利益相关者的观点至关重要。
