Observational Study of Infants Born at 34 to 37 Weeks of Gestation Until the Age of 1 Year

• Conditions: Developmental Delay; Hypoglycemia; Jaundice; Hypothermia; Respiratory Distress; Feeding Intolerance

• Registration Number: NCT00550069
• Lead Sponsor: Sheba Medical Center

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.
