Neonatal outcome associated with singleton birth at 34-41 weeks of gestation

Abstract

Future studies should delineate more precisely the respective contribution of gestational age, maternal complication and induced delivery in the prognosis of infants born between 33 and 39 weeks gestation.

High preterm birth at Cipto Mangunkusumo Hospital as a national referral hospital in Indonesia

“…20,21 The birthweight of preterm babies in this study was 1,925 grams. It is comparable with 33-35 weeks gestation babies delivered in ten California and Massachusetts hospitals, ranging from 1,759 to 2,215 grams.…”

Clinical profile and early hospital outcome of late preterms admitted in a tertiary care neonatal unit from South India

“…9 Majority of the neonates (54.9%) were admitted within 3 days of life. Birth weight of more than 2 kg was found in 67.4%, among which 33.3% of the neonates were born with birth weight more than 2.5 kg.…”

Electronic publishing brings good news to Archivos Argentinos de Pediatría

“…Neonatal morbidity at 37 weeks was 6%, more than twice as high than at 40 weeks. 5 This highlights the grounded concept that, undoubtedly, perinatal risk is lower when birth occurs between 39 and 41 weeks of gestation, not between 37 and 38 weeks, even though the latter is considered within term (called "early term" birth). Unfortunately, this is not usually taken into consideration by most obstetricians and many neonatologists.…”
