PS-047 Tradeoffs Between Mortality And Morbidity For Very Preterm Infants: Results From The Epice Cohort

Background and aimsThere is concern that declines in mortality after very preterm birth are accompanied by higher morbidity as more fragile babies survive. We investigated whether rates of severe neonatal morbidity were higher in regions with low versus high mortality.MethodsThe EPICE cohort include...

Zusammenfassung:Background and aimsThere is concern that declines in mortality after very preterm birth are accompanied by higher morbidity as more fragile babies survive. We investigated whether rates of severe neonatal morbidity were higher in regions with low versus high mortality.MethodsThe EPICE cohort included all births between 22+0 and 31+6 weeks of gestation in 19 European regions in 2011–2012 (N = 7878 live births). We divided the cohort into tertiles based on regional in-hospital mortality rates excluding deaths due to congenital anomalies: low (
