The care of pregnant women and neonates at the limits of viability is one of the greatest challenges in contemporary medicine, from a clinical and ethical point of view. Advances in the obstetric care of women with threatened preterm labour and in neonatal intensive care have led to an increase in the survival of premature infants in last decades. The gestational age (GA) at which a neonate is considered viable enough to justify active perinatal behaviour has been lowered. 1 The limits of viability are currently defined as 22-23 weeks in most Western countries. [2][3][4][5] Factors that influence survival other than GA have been defined.
