Prematurity - evolution premature baby

An increased degree of prematurity will result in severe respiratory distress, which will cause the death of infants shortly after birth.
Another category of preamturi be recorded in their stationaryweight evolution, remains fragile.
A third group of premature infants presents initially at a rate of growth slowed, then weight is the net upward curve equaling other children during infancy.

Premature presents a very accelerated pace of growth compared to the weight of the newborn at term. He doubled their weight after 2-3 months of life, one triple to reach age 6 months and 1 year to have 6 times more weight at birth.

Perimeter of the head of it equals that of the premature babynewborn to 3 months. Physiologic jaundice is installed earlier,being more intense and more prolonged risk of hyperbilirubinemiaencephalopathy.

Missing or genital crisis occurs later. Neuro-psychologicaldevelopment and mental impairment may have deficiencies,idiocy, epilepsy, paralysis, disease Little.

The prognosis depends on prematurity, hypoxia at birth, causes that triggered preterm birth, care and subsequent morbidity.
