Study Details

Study Description

Brief Summary

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.

Detailed Description

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