Infants Born at Late Preterm Gestation: Management during the Birth Hospitalization
Objective
To examine the admission practices, frequency of common clinical morbidities, and rates of medical intervention in infants born at 34-36 weeks gestational age (GA, late preterm).
Study design
This retrospective, single institution, cohort study analyzed electronic health records of infants born late preterm from 2019 through 2021. Infants with known congenital anomalies necessitating neonatal intensive care unit admission were excluded. Analysis included descriptive and inferential statistics.
Results
The study included 1022 infants: 209 (21%) 34 weeks GA, 263 (26%) 35 weeks GA, and 550 (54%) 36 weeks GA. Sixty-three percent of infants at 35 weeks GA and 78% of infants of 36 weeks GA remained in well newborn care throughout the birth hospitalization; infants born at 34 weeks GA were ineligible for well newborn care. The need for respiratory support was 32%, 18%, and 11% in infants of 34, 35, and 36 weeks GA, respectively. Supplemental tube feeds were administered in 55%, 24%, and 8% of infants of 34, 35, and 36 weeks GA, respectively. Most infants born at 34 weeks GA (91%) were placed in an incubator; this was less frequent in infants at 35 (37%) and 36 weeks (16%). Tachypnea, hypoglycemia, and hypothermia were noted in 40%, 61%, and 57% of infants, respectively. A subset of these infants (30% with tachypnea, 23% with hypoglycemia, and 46% with hypothermia) required medical intervention for these abnormalities.
Conclusions
This single-center study provides an outlook on the care of infants born late preterm. Multicenter studies can contextualize these findings in order to develop clinical benchmarks and quality markers for this large population of infants.

The Journal of Pediatrics is an international peer-reviewed journal that advances pediatric research and serves as a practical guide for pediatricians who manage health and diagnose and treat disorders in infants, children, and adolescents. The Journal publishes original work based on standards of excellence and expert review. The Journal seeks to publish high quality original articles that are immediately applicable to practice (basic science, translational research, evidence-based medicine), brief clinical and laboratory case reports, medical progress, expert commentary, grand rounds, insightful editorials, “classic” physical examinations, and novel insights into clinical and academic pediatric medicine related to every aspect of child health. Published monthly since 1932, The Journal of Pediatrics continues to promote the latest developments in pediatric medicine, child health, policy, and advocacy.
