Description
Mustafa Alabdullatif and three co-authors report survival rates for very early preterm babies at one hospital in the United Arab Emirates, in a 2024 paper. Babies born at twenty-two to twenty-five weeks face long odds. Data from their region were scarce. The team looked back at one hundred such babies cared for over eight years.
Eighteen of the one hundred babies survived. Survival rose sharply with each added week before birth. Almost half of the babies born at twenty-four weeks survived. Only one baby born at twenty-two weeks did so. Survivors faced high rates of brain bleeding, lung disease, eye disease, and gut harm. The authors say the data can help parents and doctors plan care together. They call for more data on long-term outcomes.
