Observational Study of Infants Born at 34 to 37 Weeks of Gestation Until the Age of 1 Year

Sheba Medical Center300 enrolled

Overview

Late preterm infants are at an increased risk for short and long term morbidity (during the 1st year of life, their neurodevelopmental status may also be delayed as compared to infants born at term). The term "near term infants" is probably a deceiving one.

The study will include all near term infants born at 3 Israeli medical centers during a one year period.
