TY - JOUR T1 - Decision-making at the border of viability: determining the best interests of extremely preterm infants JF - Journal of Medical Ethics JO - J Med Ethics SP - 773 LP - 779 DO - 10.1136/medethics-2019-105816 VL - 46 IS - 11 AU - Eric Vogelstein Y1 - 2020/11/01 UR - http://jme.bmj.com/content/46/11/773.abstract N2 - This paper proposes and employs a framework for determining whether life-saving treatment at birth is in the best interests of extremely preterm infants, given uncertainty about the outcome of such a choice. It argues that given relevant data and plausible assumptions about the well-being of babies with various outcomes, it is typically in the best interests of even the youngest preterm infants—those born at 22 weeks gestational age—to receive life-saving treatment at birth.
