Abstract:
The late-preterm infant refers to the infant who is born at 340/7 through 366/7 week's gestation.In recent years,the number of the late-preterm continually ascends and the proportion of them in the preterm group increase as well.Recent studies find that the rates of morbidity and mortality of late-preterm infants are much higher than those of term infants.The rise of the proportion of the former and the more medical resources consumed attract the considerable attention thereby.In this article,we will review late-preterm infants' morbidity of several systems and its influential factors in order to provide more information for perinatal medical staff to improve diagnosis,treatment and further research.
