Search for: [Abstract = "changed. A similar incidence rate of retinopathy of prematurity requiring laser photocoagulation \- 44% was noted. Neonate maturity level and surfactant therapy were independent risk factors of BPD. Delivery outside a perinatal centre was an additional risk factor of BPD in 2006\-2008. Child maturity level and duration of oxygen therapy were independent risk factors of ROP. Conclusions\: The mortality rate, incidence and risk factors of late complications of prematurity have not changed. The onset of death has shifted from the first week to the next three weeks of life, with the same overall mortality rates in the neonatal period. Improvement in prenatal care, more frequent early surfactant therapy and the usage of noninvasive ventilation techniques are the most important factors that improve prognosis among extremely low birth weight infants in the Malopolska district. The execution of a three\-level perinatal care system is also required."]
