Mortality, neonatal morbidity and two year follow-up of extremely preterm infants born in The Netherlands in 2007.
<h4>Background</h4>Extremely preterm infants are at high risk of neonatal mortality and adverse outcome. Survival rates are slowly improving, but increased survival may come at the expense of more handicaps.<h4>Methodology/principal findings</h4>Prospective population-based c...
