Article Synopsis
- The study aims to assess the link between antibiotic use and neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely low gestational age infants who don’t have confirmed infections like sepsis or NEC.
- Researchers analyzed data from 1,373 infants born before 29 weeks gestation, comparing outcomes based on different levels of antibiotic utilization.
- The findings show that infants in the highest antibiotic use group had significantly higher odds of death and serious neurodevelopmental impairment compared to those in the lowest usage group.
