Abstract
the time of birth did not seem to affect mortality and morbidity of extremely preterm infants. • The first hours after birth in extremely preterm infants are a very valuable opportunity to decrease mortality and morbidity. • Time and day of birth have long been linked to outcomes in preterm infants, with night shifts and weekends classically having higher rates of mortality and morbidity. • In this study, no differences were found between day and night births regarding survival or major morbidity. • Infants born during the night shift were more likely to be intubated at birth, receive surfactant and having anemia requiring transfusion.
