Abstract: To date, the only study of the relative clinical benefits of basic and applied research was carried out in 1976 by Comroe and Dripps. That work is now 25 years old. An attempt was made to repeat their methodology as closely as possible. The field of study selected was neonatal intensive care. A questionnaire was used to identify candidates for the top ten advances in the field. Next, a bibliometric search identified the research papers that underpinned the discoveries. These were gathered into a database, which was analysed using accepted bibliometric techniques, specifically to illustrate the relative levels of basic and clinical research at various stages of the advances' development.
