Care of very premature infants: looking to the future
Eur J Obstet Gynecol Reprod Biol.
.
Abstract
Advances in prenatal care have improved survival rates in extremely preterm newborns, but cerebral palsy rates have not decreased in developed countries over the past 30 years. During the next 10 years we will probably not observe a dramatic improvement in intensive care such as that observed over the last 15 years. The man goal for the coming years will be to improve the quality of neonatal and postdischarge care in order to improve the long-term outcomes of very preterm infants.
