Predictors of mortality for preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage: a population-based study.
This study examined the risk factors for mortality in preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH). An overall inpatient mortality occurred in 10% of the cohort of 7437 preterm infants born between 2005 and 2014. Mortality risk was independently associated with a variety of factors including male sex, Asian race, lower gestational age, higher IVH grade, gastrotomy, tracheostomy, and shunt infection.

Mortality and pulmonary outcomes of extremely preterm infants exposed to antenatal corticosteroids.
This study sought to determine if exposure to antenatal corticosteroids is associated with a lower rate of death and pulmonary morbidities by 36 weeks' postmenstrual age. It concluded that among infants 22-28 weeks' gestational age, any or partial antenatal exposure to corticosteroids compared to no exposure is associated with a lower rate of death while the rate of bronchopulmonary dysplasia in survivors did not differ.

Neonatal outcomes in the birth center setting: a systematic review.
This systematic review examined the effects of the birth center setting on neonatal mortality in economically developed countries. The criteria for inclusion included being in English, published after 1980 and in countries with similar guidelines to the American Association of Birth Centers Standards. The only measure used was neonatal mortality and results did not find any difference between using a birth center as opposed to a traditional hospital setting. The literature was not found to have many good quality studies, and further research is recommended.
