Abstract
With increasing numbers of extremely premature infants surviving, the outcome for these infants has generated much interest and controversy. This article reviews recent progress in the management and outcomes of some of the most common conditions affecting infants with very low birth weight (1500 g or less) and extremely low birth weight (1000 g or less).Keywords
