The article mentions the results of a survey of the occurrence of skin injuries in newborns, which took place in 2023 in perinatological centers and in three other medical facilities in the Czech Republic. It compares the results with a similar survey that took place in 2020 and 2022. The results of the survey in 2023 showed that the total number of skin injuries in newborns in monitored healthcare facilities gradually decreased from the original 537 in 2020 to 428 in 2022 to 367 in 2023. The most common type of skin injury also changed, namely extravasation/infiltration in 2020 to erosions/excoriations in 2022 and 2023. Of the procedures used, the wet wound healing method prevailed in 2022 and 2023 over the classic method, which was the most used in 2020.

Keywords: skin injury, neonate, results of the survey, wound healing method.
