Journal article (peer-reviewed)abstract
- Infants born at less than 25 weeks of gestation represent a small fraction of all preterm births. Caring for these fragile patients is complex because of their significant risks of mortality and adverse outcomes. In the last decades, in view of decreased mortality without increased morbidity as reported from different centers, many clinicians are now more likely to consider providing intensive care treatment to infants born at less than 25 weeks of gestation. But in other settings, palliative care is still considered standard practice, particularly at 22 and 23 weeks of gestation.
