Abstract:
This article introduces the novel conceptual framework of small vulnerable newborns (SVN) and delineates three classification approaches. It further analyzes regional disparities in SVN prevalence and examines complex contributing factors encompassing environmental influences, maternal health status, and socioeconomic determinants. Finally, the discussion focuses on SVN management and preventive strategies, emphasizing the critical importance of preconception/prenatal care, nutritional supplementation, and targeted disease interventions in reducing SVN incidence.
