AbstractHIGH PREVALENCE: Over the last 15 years, there has been a 2-fold rise in the prevalence of early prematurity (birth before 33 weeks gestation) and very early prematurity (birth between 22 and 28 weeks gestation). More than 7000 infants weighing between 500 g and 1500 g are born alive each year. Survival rates above 50% at 25 weeks, 86% at 29 weeks and 96% at 32 weeks are reported. These infants have the same right to adapted care as any other person. Nevertheless, maternal risks and the fact that these early and very early premature infants account for less than 1% of all births and yet include 50% of all neonatal deaths and 50% of all sequelae. A multidisciplinary approach is crucial for women with a high risk of delivery before 27 weeks gestation.
