Abstract: The bibliographic details of research papers underpinning five clinical advances in neonatal intensive care were collated and analysed using applied bibliometric techniques. After a time-lag of about 17 years, between 2% and 21% of research underpinning clinical advances in NIC could be described as basic. This observation is at odds with Comroe and Dripps' 1976 finding.
