ABSTRACT
Care for pregnant women and their infants at extremely low gestational ages challenges clinical teams. The continuing rise in survival at gestational ages below 25 weeks has prompted re-evaluation of practice guidelines within the UK and other countries. This paper describes the background data that have guided our practice, the approach that has been taken to deliver optimal outcomes for pregnancies delivering at extremely low gestational age in the UK, mainly through centralising care, and discusses the research and audit data that support our practice. In particular, we emphasize the importance of a coordinated perinatal approach to both mother and infant, and careful assessment of the risks to both, to ensure that we develop the highest quality personalized care for each family, supported by national quality improvement and research evidence.
