The likelihood that an extremely premature baby will survive if born in a ...

Survival of preterm babies has increased worldwide. Recent studies have focused on outcomes of extremely preterm children (born at 22-26 weeks' gestation), but outcomes of children born very and moderately preterm (between 27 and 34 weeks' gestation) hav
This could affect or underestimates the neonatal and perinatal mortality rates. However, the study provided valuable information about the magnitude of the problem in the study setting. The study did not address all determinants of neonatal mortality which might affect true association of studied ...
