Rates of morbidity and mortality among very preterm infants in the United States have continued to decrease but at a slower pace in recent years, and the rate of chronic lung disease has increased, according to study findings.

Preterm and very low-birth-weight infants fed in faster and slower increments had comparable neurodevelopmental outcomes at age 24 months, according to findings from a randomized controlled trial published in The New England Journal of Medicine.
