Variation of Neonatal Outcomes and Care Practices for Preterm Infants <34 Weeks' Gestation in Different Regions of China: A Cohort Study
Background: To compare outcomes and care practices of preterm infants born at <34 weeks' gestation in the different regions of China from 2015 to 2018.Methods: This cohort study enrolled all infants born at <34 weeks and admitted to 25 tertiary neonatal intensive care units across...

Infants in eastern China had the lowest rates of mortality or any morbidity (23.3%), overall mortality (7.6%), in-hospital mortality (3.7%), and discharge against medical advice (DAMA, 6.3%), compared with central (27.8, 11.3, 5.0, and 10.6%, respectively) and western China (37.4, 19.4, 7.7, and 19.4%, respectively).
