Abstract

Among extremely preterm infants who survived to 36 weeks' postmenstrual age, prolonged hypoxemic episodes during the first 2 to 3 months after birth were associated with adverse 18-month outcomes. If confirmed in future studies, further research on the prevention of such episodes is needed.
