After a failed attempt to extend this to the most immature infants in the early 1980s, a policy with minimally invasive support after birth with nasal continuous positive airway pressure was adopted from the neonatal unit in Odense. The conservative approach was consolidated by a national consensus conference; the lay panel concluded that a lower limit of gestation should be installed and priority should be given to parental counseling and support. This was confirmed some years later by the majority of the members of the Danish Council on Ethics, and questionnaire-based research revealed a significant proportion of the general population that would forego life support in extremely preterm infants. Since the year 2002, the treatment of infants &amp;lt;28 weeks\u2019 gestation at birth has been centralized to 4 university-based NICUs, the treatment policies have been rather uniform, and the survival of infants at 23 weeks\u2019 gestation or less has been unusual. Most recently, however, a professional initiative has been undertaken to centralize all births &amp;gt;22 weeks\u2019 gestation to improve parental counseling and neonatal intervention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2018-0478d","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2018,8,31]],"date-time":"2018-08-31T08:26:06Z","timestamp":1535703966000},"page":"S539-S544","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Don\u2019t Rush It: Conservative Care in Denmark"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"142","author":[{"given":"Gorm","family":"Greisen","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatology, Rigshospitalet, Copenhagen University Hospital, Copenhagen, Denmark; and"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Tine Brink","family":"Henriksen","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Child and Adolescence Medicine, Neonatology, Aarhus University Hospital, Aarhus, Denmark"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2018,9,1]]},"reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"2021120906224839500_B1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"453","DOI":"10.1016\/j.siny.2004.08.003","article-title":"Managing births at the limit of viability: the Danish experience.","volume":"9","author":"Greisen","year":"2004","journal-title":"Semin Fetal Neonatal Med"},{"issue":"11","key":"2021120906224839500_B2","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"e613","DOI":"10.1542\/neo.11-11-e613","article-title":"Historical perspectives: perinatal profiles: Bent Friis-Hansen: a Danish pioneer of neonatology.","volume":"11","author":"Greisen","year":"2010","journal-title":"NeoReviews"},{"issue":"6\u20137","key":"2021120906224839500_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"581","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1990.tb11520.x","article-title":"Early treatment of idiopathic respiratory distress syndrome using binasal continuous positive airway pressure.","volume":"79","author":"Kamper","year":"1990","journal-title":"Acta Paediatr Scand"},{"issue":"11","key":"2021120906224839500_B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"934","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1651-2227.1993.tb12603.x","article-title":"\u201cMinitouch\u201d treatment of very low-birth-weight infants.","volume":"82","author":"Jacobsen","year":"1993","journal-title":"Acta Paediatr"},{"issue":"3","key":"2021120906224839500_B5","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"271","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1365-3016.2001.00354.x","article-title":"Cerebral palsy births in eastern Denmark, 1987\u201390: implications for neonatal care.","volume":"15","author":"Topp","year":"2001","journal-title":"Paediatr Perinat Epidemiol"},{"issue":"13","key":"2021120906224839500_B6","first-page":"1916","article-title":"Deaths at the neonatal department.
