Preemie survival rates unchanged

Survival rates among very low birthweight infants have not changed despite more aggressive delivery room treatments, researchers at Case Western Reserve University School of Medicine report in the Dec. 14, 1989 New England Journal of Medicine.

Researchers Maureen Hack and Avroy Fanaroff studied 98 very low birthweight infants born from July 1982 to June 1985. They compared the survival rates of those infants with 129 others born from July 1985 to June 1988. The researchers found that although the number of procedures aimed at saving the infants increased, they stood no better chance of surviving in 1988 than they did in 1982.
