Neonatal Morbidities in Infants Born Late Preterm at 35-36 Weeks of Gestation: A Swedish Nationwide Population-based Study

Abstract

Infants born late preterm at 35-36 weeks of gestation are at increased risk of neonatal morbidities, although the absolute risks for severe neonatal morbidities are low. Our findings reinforce the need of preventing late preterm delivery to decrease the burden of neonatal morbidity and help professionals and families with a better risk assessment.
