Active Treatment and Survival Trends for Periviable Births by Race and Ethnicity
(Abstracted from JAMA 2025;333(21):1925-1928) Restrictive abortion policies in many states may raise ethical and clinical considerations among neonatologists, who feel obligated to attempt life support to infants, regardless of the prognosis. Studies that have evaluated trends in initiating active treatment and the survival rate of infants born between 22 and 25 weeks of gestation are scarce.
