Question
What is the survival rate of premature babies at six months?
Answer
The survival chances for premature babies at six months of pregnancy are very low. Generally, after the 20th week of pregnancy, there is a chance for the fetus to survive. By the 28th week, the chances of survival increase. However, before 34 weeks, the lungs of premature babies may not be fully developed, leading to respiratory difficulties and oxygen deficiency, which can cause brain issues like hemorrhage, and may trigger pediatric brain tumors. The survival chances for premature babies at six months are extremely low.
