Summary

This study looked at whether using tiny blood samples instead of standard amounts can improve health in extremely preterm babies (born before 27 weeks). The goal was to see if this "less is more" approach reduces lung disease and other serious complications. Over 200 babies took part, and researchers tracked outcomes like need for oxygen and blood transfusions.
