Accordingly, in 2020, the member units of the China Neonatal Network will cover 70 member units in 29 provinces (autonomous regions and municipalities) across the country; the survival rate of very premature infants/very low birth weight infants has increased.
The minimum gestational age to survive and discharge in 2020 is 23+1 weeks; the minimum birth weight to survive and discharge is 440 grams.
The report shows that in 2020, 70 member units will receive 10473 very preterm infants/very low birth weight infants. Among them, the survival rate of preterm infants with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks is 89%; the survival rate of preterm infants with a birth weight of less than 1500 g is 88%, both This is an increase from 2019.
Premature birth is an important cause of death in children and infants under 5 years of age.
The report shows that in the case of complete treatment, the survival rate of preterm infants with a gestational age of less than 32 weeks reached 96.1%, and the survival rate of preterm infants with a birth weight of less than 1500 g was 95.6%, which were improved compared with 2019.
However, Professor Cao Yun, secretary-general of the China Neonatal Network, said bluntly that the incidence of severe diseases such as respiratory distress syndrome and bronchopulmonary dysplasia in premature infants is still significantly higher than that in developed countries, and the quality of treatment needs to be continuously improved to reduce serious diseases. Incidence rate, improve the final prognostic outcome.
