Evaluation of Survival and Neurodevelopment in Neonates Born Very Preterm at a Tertiary Centre in Portugal

This study reaffirms gestational age as a key determinant of survival and neurodevelopmental outcomes in very preterm infants, with those born before 28 weeks facing higher risks of mortality and severe neurodevelopmental impairments. Understanding local survival rates and neurodevelopmental outcomes is paramount for guiding perinatal decision-making and providing accurate evidence-based counseling to parents of preterm infants.
