Mortality rates remained higher for outborn livebirths at 22-27 weeks' gestation compared with inborn peers in 2010-2011. Outborn infants admitted to NICU did not have substantially different rates of mortality or serious morbidity compared with inborns, with the exception of cPVL. Longer-term health consequences of outborn birth before 28 weeks' gestation need to be determined.
