The incidence and outcomes of perinatal asphyxia in spontaneous extreme preterm birth: a retrospective cohort study
PA occurred more frequently in this extreme preterm cohort than in term neonates, yet did not independently influence mortality or morbidity. A major limitation is the use of ACOG criteria, originally developed for term births, which may have led to over- or underestimation of PA's true incidence and impact. Although based on few confirmed cases, findings suggest PA, may not be a major independent predictor of adverse outcome in extreme PTB.
