Neurodevelopmental outcome in babies weighing less than 2001 g at birth.
From 1976 to 1980, 1034 infants with birth weights of 500-2000 g were cared for in the neonatal medical unit; 724 were discharged.

متن کاملClinical factors associated with adverse outcome for babies weighing 2000 g or less at birth.

For survivors weighing 501-1250 g in whom incidence of serious handicap was 21%, neonatal fits and the need for mechanical ventilation carried significantly...

متن کاملMode of delivery and survival in babies weighing less than 2000 g.
A retrospective study of babies weighing less than 2000 g at birth admitted over a four-year period to Nottingham City Hospital Neonatal Unit showed a higher incidence of lower Apgar scores and the need for intubation in babies born by caesarean section and breech deliveries. Mortality in those delivered by the breech (35%) was statistically higher than those by caesarean section (10%) or verte...
