Effect of maternal age on neonatal outcomes in very low birth weight singleton infants: a population-based study

Background Little is known on the impact of maternal age (MA) on very low birth weight (VLBW) infants’ outcomes. We tested the hypothesis that at both ends of MA there are increased adverse neonatal outcomes in VLBW infants. Methods We used the Israel National Neonatal Network VLBW (≤1500 g) databas...
