Outcomes in extremely low birth weight (≤500 g) preterm infants: A Western Australian experience.

Background And Aim: Extremely preterm (EP) infant survival has significantly improved with advanced neonatal care; however outcomes of infants born with birth weight (BW) ≤500 g remain poor. We aimed to review outcomes of this cohort in our institution.

Methods: Retrospective study of all inborn preterm infants born at ≥22 weeks gestational age (GA) and weighing ≤500 g between January 2001-December 2017.
