Table 3 Fully adjusted odds ratios for outcomes at 2 years of age (cerebral palsy (CP) and sensory deficiencies (blindness and deafness), and Ages and Stages Questionnaire (ASQ) results below threshold) amongst survivors of babies born at 27–28 weeks’ gestation in medium and high intensity units compared to low intensity units in France in 2011 using indicators constructed in relation to births at 24–25 weeks’ gestation from rates of antenatal steroid exposure, delivery by Caesarean section and neonatal resuscitation in the delivery room
