The frequency of preterm deliveries is increasing and late preterm newborns (from 34 to 36 weeks of gestation) represent the majority of preterm infants. There was therefore a need to test the hypothesis that the higher incidence of morbidity in this\u00a0group significantly prolongs their hospital stay following birth.<\/p>\n<p>METHODS. This was a population based study in new borns born between 34 and 42 weeks of gestation from January 2008 to January 2009 at the Department of Perinatology of the Maribor University\u00a0Clinical Center. The data were taken from two medical record data bases: Perinatal Information\u00a0System of Slovenia and Medical Information System of the Maribor University Clinical\u00a0Center. This birth cohort was divided into term (n = 1.861) and late preterm groups (n = 100).\u00a0The objective of our investigation was the length of hospital stay. The analysed variables were:\u00a0mode of delivery, respiratory morbidity, neonatal infections, jaundice, and dehydration. These variables were compared between the investigated groups and their inf luence on hospital\u00a0stay was studied.<\/p>\n<p>RESULTS. The average length of hospital stay was 7.7 days for late preterm\u00a0and 4.2 days for term newborns, and this difference was statistically significant (p &lt; 0.001).\u00a0Significantly higher rates of cesarean sections in late preterm infants and significantly higher incidences of respiratory morbidity, neonatal infections, jaundice, and dehydration along\u00a0with their treat ment significantly prolonged their hospital stay.<\/p>\n<p>CONCLUSIONS. The results\u00a0of our study confirmed the hypothesis that late preterm infants have significantly higher morbidity rates, a greater need for treatment in neonatal special care units, and significantly longer hospital stays following birth.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>BACKGROUNDS.
