Gestation versus outcome table for parents of extremely premature infants.
Parents of extremely premature babies may have problems understanding and remembering information on likely outcome. We have constructed a simplified evidence-based "gestation versus outcome" table that could be offered to the parents. Such a table may promote consistency in the information given to parents by different members of the perinatal team.
