[Treatment of premature infant is changing].
With active research work, neonatology has developed into an increasingly evidence-based sector of medicine. Research evidence also supports the change towards a more patient-friendly and family-centered direction. The therapy aims to optimize protection of the brain, in order to thereby improve the developmental prognosis of premature infants. It is therefore important to provide for the developmental follow-up of premature infants. Regionalization of very premature deliveries into university hospitals will decrease mortality.
