在美国和加拿大，晚期早产儿(胎龄34至36周)的数量正在增加。这些新生儿的出现可能会让从业者和父母对他们的福祉产生一种错误的安全感。新生儿学文献已经开始讨论这一问题；然而，关于这些新生儿出院后的健康问题的信息很少。作者回顾了他们在一家大型儿科机构的急诊科(ED)一年多的经验，比较了晚期早产儿和足月儿的发病率。晚产早产儿在急诊室就诊的新生儿中占很大比例。某些问题在这些婴儿中发生得更频繁，包括需要重症监护。
The number of late preterm newborns (gestational age 34 to 36 weeks) is increasing in the United States and Canada. The appearance of these newborns may give a false sense of security about their well-being to practitioners and parents alike. Neonatology literature has begun to address this issue; however there is paucity of information regarding health concerns of these newborns after discharge from the nursery. The authors reviewed their experience in the emergency department (ED) of a large pediatric institution over a 1-year period, comparing morbidity in late preterm infants with term infants. Late preterm infants comprise a significant proportion of newborn visits to the ED. Certain problems occur more frequently in these infants, including the need for intensive care.
