Popis: With parental informed consent 38 of 49 infants of 22-24 weeks have been treated intensively at our institution during 1990-94. Of the 49, 17 (35%) survived. Mean weights were 650g (survivors) and 539g (deaths). Survival rates were higher at 24 than 22 weeks (53% vs 23%), with higher Apgar scores (53% vs 16%), and when a full course of steroids was given (63% vs 21%). Survival was not influenced by route of delivery, nor by infant sex.
