Article Synopsis
- This study compares hospitalization rates and medication use between preterm infants (born before 37 weeks) and full-term infants during their first year of life using data from a Dutch perinatal registry.
- The research found that 90% of preterm infants were hospitalized at birth, and they have a two-fold increased risk of being rehospitalized, particularly for respiratory issues.
- Additionally, preterm infants were 50% more likely to be prescribed respiratory medications, indicating a significant impact of prematurity on health outcomes during infancy.
