Temporal trends of in utero and early postnatal transfer of extremely preterm infants between 2011 and 2016: a UK population study.

Published in: Archives of disease in childhood. Fetal and neonatal edition (2021)

In the UK, IUT of extremely preterm infants has significantly decreased over the study period with a parallel increase in early PNT. Strategies to reverse these trends, improve IUT pathways and optimise antenatal steroid use could significantly improve survival and reduce brain injury for these high-risk infants.
