Abstract: Objective: There are differences in the adoption rates of less invasive surfactant administration (LISA) worldwide. We aimed to describe and analyze the process of LISA introduction at the country level. Methods: A standardized training program (33 courses covering >500 neonatologists) was followed by a cohort study. Data regarding consecutive LISA procedures were acquired over 12 months in 31 tertiary neonatal centers, using a dedicated on-line platform. Results: Of 500 LISA procedures, 75% were performed by specialists and 25% by residents. The mean percentage share of LISA in all surfactant therapies was 24%, which represents a 6-fold increase compared to previous years. After 12 months, 76% of the procedures were rated “easy/very easy” vs 59% at baseline (p
