Decision-making at the border of viability remains challenging for the expectant parents and the medical team. The preterm infant is dependent on others making the decision that will impact them for a lifetime in hopefully their best interest. Besides survival and survival without neurodevelopmental impairment, other relevant outcome measures, such as the quality of life of former preterm infants and the impact on family life, need to be integrated into prenatal counselling. Recommendations and national guidelines continue to rely on arbitrarily set gestational age limits at which treatment is not recommended, can be considered and it is recommended. These guidelines neglect other individual prognostic outcome factors like antenatal steroids, birth weight and gender. Besides individual factors, centre-specific factors like perinatal treatment intensity and the attitude of healthcare professionals significantly determine the futures of these infants at the border of viability. A more comprehensive approach regarding treatment recommendations and relevant outcome measures is necessary.
