What is the survival rate of premature babies?
2 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
10-99 %: It really depends on how premature they are. With every week they stay inside the mom, their stay in the intensive care unit goes down by several weeks and their survival rates rise significantly.

How premi???: All premi's do not generate the same survival rates. Those below 26 weeks have much worse outlook than those at 34 and above.Yet even those born close to term can have devastating complications in labor/delivery or in the nursery. If you have a case in mind please submit more information in a separate question.

Was given surfactant as an infant due to extreme prematurity, now recent lung CT shows inflammation, minimal bilateral scar and unspecific aveolar density. I also had COVID recently. Could this be due to the surfactant or Covid and can it be reversed?
I read online that a study was done and that only 22% of extreme premature babies were found to be alive between 18-45. I was born at 28 weeks with Tourettes and ADHD. Does this mean I only have a 22% survival rate?
