Prematurity (medicine)


prematurity


Historically, the definition of prematurity was 2500 grams (about 5 1/2 pounds) or less at birth. The current world health organisation definition of prematurity is a baby born before 37 weeks of gestation, counting from the first day of the last menstrual period (lmp).
