Mortality rates were high, with 37% noted among 233 preterm infants analyzed.
Respiratory distress syndrome occurred in 84% of preterm infants, significantly affecting those born at under 28 weeks.
Sepsis was prevalent in 80% of infants, with early-onset sepsis affecting 84.6% of cases.
Bronchopulmonary dysplasia was significantly more common in infants born between 24-28 weeks gestation than in those born later.

Dhole et al. (2025) studied this question.
