Multicenter Study Comparative StudyNeonatal intensive care outcomes and resource utilisation of infants born <26 weeks in the former Trent region: 2001-2003 compared with 1991-1993.
To provide survival data and rates of severe disability at 2 years of corrected age in infants born prior to 26 weeks' gestation in 2001-2003 and to compare these outcomes with an earlier cohort from 1991 to 1993. ⋯ This study has shown an improvement in survival to discharge in babies admitted for neonatal care. However, this improved survival has been associated with an increase in the proportion of children with at least one severe disability at a corrected age of 2 years.
