Limits Of Viability: Chances Of Survival And Outcome
GYNAKOLOGE(2001)
摘要
The borderline for viability has been further reduced in the last decade in the developed countries; there are reports of surviving infants after 22 weeks gestation. In the data of large neonatal collaboration networks, the 50th percentile for survival is in the range of 24-25 weeks. Procedural improvements in perinatology and methodological changes in outcome studies preclude an extrapolation of older outcome results for this new generation of extremely premature infants. The first short-term morbidity data disclose a subnormal development or serious sequelae in more than 50% of survivors, while longterm outcome studies are obviously lacking.Neonatologists' modes of practice worldwide also have an impact on the morbidity and mortality of such infants. In addition to accepted standards of care of pregnancies at risk for premature birth in a perinatal center, a strong involvement of parents in the decision making regarding resuscitation of extremely premature, technology-dependent infants is called for. Every perinatal center caring for extremely premature infants has an obligation to implement a follow-up program or to participate in an outcome study network.
