Few criteria exist for identifying which babies merit special nursing care, and many asymptomatic babies are offered such care unnecessarily. Birth weight is usually used to identify babies in need of special care at birth, but gestational age is a better discriminator. Babies of more than 35 weeks' gestation do not normally require admission to a special care nursery. Those preterm babies who are admitted can usually be discharged at 37 weeks' gestation even if they still weigh less than 2000 g.
几乎没有标准可用于确定哪些婴儿值得接受特殊护理，许多无症状的婴儿被不必要地给予了这种护理。出生体重通常用于识别出生时需要特殊护理的婴儿，但胎龄是更好的判别指标。妊娠超过35周的婴儿通常不需要入住特殊护理病房。那些入住的早产儿通常在妊娠37周时可以出院，即使他们的体重仍不足2000克。
