Mitha A, Chen R, Altman M, et al. - In this nationwide population-based cohort study, researchers sought to evaluate the risk for neonatal morbidities among infants born late preterm at 35-36 gestational weeks, early term (37-38 weeks), and late-term (41 weeks) infants, compared with full-term (39-40 weeks) infants. The sample consisted of 1,650,450 non-malformed liveborn singleton infants born at 35-41 weeks between 1998 and 2016 in Sweden. Infants born late preterm at 35-36 weeks of gestation are at increased risk of neonatal morbidities, despite the fact that the absolute risks for severe neonatal morbidities are low. The findings emphasise the importance of preventing late preterm birth in order to reduce the burden of neonatal morbidity and provide professionals and families with a better risk assessment.
