Management and neurodevelopmental outcomes of the tiniest babies

Care of preterm infants with extremely low birth weight (BW) and having intact survival is still a challenge for neonatologists. In this issue of Pediatrics and Neonatology, Nagara reported the survival rate and the outcome of preterm infants with a BW of ≤500 g in a single institute during a 10-year period.1 Their strategy regarding the timing of delivery of live or stillborn infants with a BW of ≤500 g is to deliver cases where continued pregnancy would compromise maternal health or where non-reassuring fetal status is identified.
