الإنجليزية - الإنجليزية
The birth of an infant prior to the completion of its prenatal development
: Childbirth occurring earlier than 37 completed weeks of gestation, but later than 20th week, which is regarded a miscarriage
Birth less than 37 weeks after conception. Infants born as early as 23-24 weeks may survive but many face lifelong disabilities (e.g., cerebral palsy, blindness, deafness). Premature infants account for 8-9% of live births but two-thirds of infant deaths. 40-50% of cases have no explanation; other cases can be attributed to such causes as maternal hypertension or diabetes, multiple pregnancy, or placental separation. With good care, about 85% of live-born premature infants should survive. Infants born very early (before 32-34 weeks) lack fully developed lungs and often develop respiratory distress syndrome. They also have problems maintaining body temperature and fighting infection. Most deaths result from breathing problems, infections, and brain or lung hemorrhages. Premature infants are characterized by low birth weight, small size, irregular breathing, absence of subcutaneous fat, and thin skin
