Aim  This study quantified the impact of perinatal predictors and medical centre on the outcome of very low‐gestational‐age neonates ( VLGAN s) born at <32 completed weeks in Switzerland.    Methods  Using prospectively collected data from a 10‐year cohort of  VLGAN s, we developed logistic regression models for three different time points: delivery,  NICU  admission and seven days of age. The data predicted survival to discharge without severe neonatal morbidity, such as major brain injury, moderate or severe bronchopulmonary dysplasia, retinopathy of prematurity (≥stage three) or necrotising enterocolitis (≥stage three).    Results  From 2002 to 2011, 6892  VLGAN s were identified: 5854 (85%) of the live‐born infants survived and 84% of the survivors did not have severe neonatal complications. Predictors for adverse outcome at delivery and on  NICU  admission were low gestational age, low birthweight, male sex, multiple birth, birth defects and lack of antenatal corticosteroids. Proven sepsis was an additional risk factor on day seven of life. The medical centre remained a statistically significant factor at all three time points after adjusting for perinatal predictors.    Conclusion  After adjusting for perinatal factors, the survival of Swiss  VLGAN s without severe neonatal morbidity was strongly influenced by the medical centre that treated them.

Swiss medical centres vary significantly when it comes to outcomes of neonates with a very low gestational age
