Click here to take the survey.

Dear Colleagues,

I hope you are doing well.

We are conducting an international survey regarding the management of periviable infants born at 22–23 weeks’ gestation. The purpose of this survey is to better understand current clinical practices across different countries and to explore future research priorities in this field.

The survey includes questions on delivery room management, respiratory and circulatory management, neurological care, nutritional strategies, and other NICU practices for infants born at 22–23 weeks’ gestation.

The questionnaire takes approximately 5 minutes to complete, and all responses will be anonymized. We would appreciate your response by May 31, 2026.

The Research Ethics Committee of Saitama Medical Center, Saitama Medical University determined that ethical review was not required for this survey because it assesses institutional-level clinical practices and does not collect any patient-level or personal information.

We would greatly appreciate your participation and would also be grateful if you could share this survey with colleagues involved in neonatal intensive care.

Best regards, Fumi
