Neurodevelopmental Outcomes at 18 Months’ Corrected Age of Infants Born at 22 Weeks of Gestation

Abstract

In our study, all infants admitted to the NICU at a gestational age of 22 weeks were discharged from the hospital alive. This might suggest that infants after 22 weeks' gestation be considered eligible for active treatment in Japan, though considering the size of the material, generalizibility of the results cannot be considered guaranteed.
