Prenatal Counseling in Extreme Prematurity: Professionals' View

Summary

This study is part of the PreCo study, evaluating Dutch care in (imminent) extreme preterm birth including current and preferred counseling, barriers and facilitators for preferred counseling from both obstetricians and neonatologists, as well as parents' views on this.

Since 2010, intensive care can be offered in the Netherlands at 24+0 weeks gestation (with parental consent) but as some international guidelines, the Dutch guideline lacks detailed recommendations on organization, content and preferred decision-making of the counseling.
