Of 106 liveborn infants weighing 751 to 1,500 g born to 97 mothers, 97 (91.5%) were transferred to the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit for premature infants at the Beilinson Medical Center, Petah Tikva. Treatment with tocolytic agents (ritodrine) and corticosteroids (betamethasone) was introduced when indicated but no preventive antibiotics were used during the antenatal period. All infants received immediate care by a neonatologist and 77 infants (72.6%) survived. Although the cesarean section deliveries increased during the survey from 21.7% during the first period to 43.3% during the second, there was no statistically significant difference in the survival rate. Thus it seems that there is no advantage in performing cesarean sections for very-low-birth weight infants in either vertex or breech presentations.
在佩塔提克瓦的贝林森医疗中心，97名母亲所生的106名出生体重在751至1500克之间的活产婴儿中，97名（91.5%）被转至早产儿新生儿重症监护病房。有指征时使用了宫缩抑制剂（利托君）和皮质类固醇（倍他米松）进行治疗，但产前未使用预防性抗生素。所有婴儿均由新生儿科医生立即进行护理，77名婴儿（72.6%）存活。尽管在调查期间剖宫产分娩率从第一阶段的21.7%增加到第二阶段的43.3%，但存活率在统计学上没有显著差异。因此，对于极低出生体重的头位或臀位婴儿，剖宫产似乎没有优势。
