Premature birth: diagnosis and therapy

Abstract

Premature babies account for 60-70% of early neonatal and 65-75% infant mortality [2, 3, 5, 9]. In premature labour, stillbirth rate is 8-13 times the rate in term labour [6, 8]. Babies born weighing less than 1500 g are 200 times more likely to die newborn, and if survive, 10 times more likely to have neurological and physical complications than babies born weighing more than 2500 g [7].
