The delivery modes and morbidity/mortality in very preterm infants with birth weight <1,500 g: a retrospective cohort study
Cesarean section reduced early mortality in VPIs <28 weeks but increased respiratory morbidity at 28-31<sup>+6</sup> weeks, with no impact on other outcomes. Since 52.1% of the cesarean sections were emergency procedures, this may have biased the results.
