Outcomes of a uniformly active approach to infants born at 22–24 weeks of gestation

Abstract

A uniformly active approach to all extremely preterm infants results in survival rates that are not distinctly different across the gestational ages of 22-24 weeks and more than 50% survival even in infants at 22 weeks. The majority were unimpaired at 2.5 years, suggesting that such an approach does not result in higher rates of long-term adverse neurological outcome.
