The WHO states that prematurity rates have increased mainly due to late preterm births. Since these babies are usually born with appropriate weight for their gestational age, their risk for morbidities such as neurodevelopmental delays, behavioral problems and organ systems immaturity are overlooked. Further, these clinical findings have an impact on short and long term outcomes (i.e., morbidities, mortality, and higher healthcare costs). The aim of this publication is to discuss topics related to late-preterm newborns' health, including a holistic and interdisciplinary approach to follow up care.
世界卫生组织指出，早产率上升主要是由于晚期早产。由于这些婴儿出生时的体重通常与其孕周相符，他们患神经发育迟缓、行为问题和器官系统不成熟等疾病的风险被忽视了。此外，这些临床发现会对短期和长期结果（即发病率、死亡率和更高的医疗成本）产生影响。本出版物的目的是讨论与晚期早产新生儿健康相关的话题，包括后续护理的整体和跨学科方法。
