Ebook The Premature Infant in Outpatient Care

Prematurity denotes preterm delivery before the 37th week of pregnancy. Most premature infants weigh less than 2500 g, which has also been considered a criterion for prematurity. Premature infants may be small (small for gestational age = SGA; small for date), normal (appropriate for gestational age = AGA) or large (large for date), as all other neonates.
