A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This study implements the EXPRIM protocol, which focuses on early, standardized, and multidisciplinary management of women at risk of extremely preterm birth and their infants. It targets mothers hospitalized between 22 and 26 weeks of gestation and aims to reduce variability in care practices across different regions. The study will collect feedback from parents regarding their experiences with the information provided and the care received for their child at specific intervals post-delivery. The goal is to enhance survival rates and reduce morbidity for extremely preterm infants.
