“…18 The scenario in the developed countries is different where lowest birth weight babies that survived weighing less than 300 grams. 19 This infant will need to be followed up over years to see whether or not she develops severe long term consequences and becomes neurodevelopmentally handicapped. Only then can the efforts of trying and saving a 24-week-old infant weighing 456 grams can be justified.…”

Prematurity is a common neonatal problem in developing countries and is associated with high mortality and both immediate and long-term morbidities. More a baby is premature more is the chance of mortality. With the advent of modern supportive care favorable outcome has been observed in extremely premature babies in developed countries, but the outcome is not satisfactory in developing countries. Recently, an incredibly low birth weight (456 grams) micro preemie was successfully managed in Dhaka Shishu Hospital. With round the clock care at the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care Unit she was tipping the scales and discharged at the age of three months, weighing 1128 grams. To the best of our knowledge, this is the lowest birth weight baby survived in our country, an exceptional achievement and a milestone in newborn care in Bangladesh.

“…Survival of these high risk patients has been reported to be 20% when birth weight is between 500 and 600 g, with a 50% incidence of significant neurodevelopmental impairment in 500-750 g infants [1] Due to this weight related risk, some authors even defined as incredibly low birth weight (ILBW) a subset of patients whose birth weight is less than 750 gm, although a systematic characterization of such a group is lacking [2,3].…”
