Main Results:

  • A small number of interventions for prematurity are now supported by robust evidence.
  • Several widely adopted practices lack sufficient evidence and should be reconsidered.
  • The majority of interventions for prematurity lack clear risk-benefit profiles.

Conclusions:

  • Clinical guidelines for prematurity management have evolved, with a few key strategies recommended.
  • Discontinuation of ineffective or potentially harmful interventions is advised.
  • Further research is crucial to elucidate the risks and benefits of numerous prematurity interventions.
