Mortality and Neurologic, Mental, and Psychomotor Development at 2 Years in Infants Born Less Than 27 Weeks’ Gestation: The Leiden Follow-Up Project on Prematurity

Abstract

Mortality and neonatal morbidity were higher in infants with GA <27 weeks compared with infants born between 27 and 32 weeks. The high adverse outcome of infants <25 weeks suggests that one should carefully weigh whether or not to aggressively resuscitate and treat these extremely premature infants.
