Babies born extremely premature may benefit from proactive, coordinated care

There are striking differences across U.S. hospitals in the decision to initiate or withhold treatment at 23 weeks of gestation.

Sixty infants survived to hospital discharge and more than half of the survivors evaluated at 18 to 22 months had little to no neurological complications.
