Editorial: Biomarkers in neonatology

Nowadays, the use of readily available biomarkers has become clinical routine in many fields of medicine - including neonatology. Biomarkers often provide important adjunct information in the process of establishing a diagnosis, and by serial measurements of specific biomarkers changes over time can be assessed (e.g., response to a specific treatment). Biomarkers should never be used as “stand-alone information”, but must always be evaluated in conjunction with clinical information gathered at the bedside by a physician/neonatologist.
