[Expert recommendations on antenatal counseling for extremely preterm infants]

With continuous advancements in neonatal care in China, the survival rate of extremely preterm infants has markedly increased in recent years. However, the proportion of voluntary withdrawal of treatment for extremely preterm infants remains relatively high. To further improve the overall treatment success rate for extremely preterm infants in Hunan Province, the Hunan Neonatal Medical Quality Control Center, in collaboration with the Perinatal Committee of the Hunan Medical Association, organized experts to develop recommendations on antenatal counseling for extremely preterm infants. These recommendations aim to standardize antenatal counseling procedures, enhance the scientific rigor and consistency of clinical decision-making, and improve survival outcomes.
