Abstract: Extremely premature infants with <28 weeks of gestational age are at higher risk of various complications after birth and have higher mortality and disability rate due to the extremely immature organs. In recent years, with the rapid development of the perinatal medical system and related therapeutic technology, extremely preterm infants' short- and long-term prognosis has been significantly improved. Since the new century, with the rapid social and economic development, the number of treated extremely premature infants and its survival rate in China has also significantly increased. However, compared with the developed countries, the gap still exists. Here we outline the current situation of the management of extremely premature infants in China and abroad and the challenges we faced.
