Abstract
Objectives It is unclear how newer methods of respiratory support for infants born extremely preterm (EP; 22-27 weeks gestation) have affected in-hospital sequelae. We aimed to determine changes in respiratory support, survival and morbidity in EP infants since the early 1990s. Design Prospective longitudinal cohort study. Setting The State of Victoria, Australia. Participants All EP births offered intensive care in four discrete eras (1991-1992 (24 months): n=332, 1997 (12 months): n=190, 2005 (12 months): n=229, and April 2016-March 2017 (12 months): n=250). Outcome measures Consumption of respiratory support, survival and morbidity to discharge home. Cost-effectiveness ratios describing t..
