Between 2010 and 2014, babies in the United States had an approximately 70% survival rate when born under weight of 500 g (1.10lb), an increase from a 30.8% survival rate between 2006 and 2010.

Premature birth is associated with a 1.2x to 1.6x increase in all-cause mortality rates during early to mid-adulthood. Those born extremely prematurely (22–27 weeks) have an even higher mortality rate of 1.9x to 4.0x. [3]
According to data from 2003 to 2005, survival rates are 20–35% for babies born at 23 weeks of gestation (5 + 3 ⁄ 4 months); 50–70% at 24–25 weeks (6 – 6 + 1 ⁄ 4 months); and >90% at 26–27 weeks (6 + 1 ⁄ 2 – 6 + 3 ⁄ 4 months) and over. [22] It is rare for a baby weighing less than 500 g (1 lb 2 oz) to survive. [21]
