Abstract
Factors affecting the survival of 136 consecutive live-born [human] infants delivered at 24-28 wk gestation during a 4-yr period were analyzed. After careful assessment of gestational age, perinatal care for the fetus of at least 26 wk gestation was aggressive. Survival at 26 wk was 45% and at 28 wk, 92%. Multivariate analysis showed that the set of variables that best predicts neonatal outcome is gesational age, antepartum glucocorticoid administration and resuscitation at birth.This publication has 5 references indexed in Scilit:
