It is rare that neonatal educational conferences today do not have a presentation dealing with The Late Preterm Infant. Think about the confusion over the years as we deleted the words, Near Term, Marginally Preterm, Moderately Preterm, Minimally Preterm and Mildly Preterm. The replacement of Near Term with Late Preterm was most important, as Near Term implied maturity and a similar risk for morbidity and mortality as the Term Infant. We now realize that Late Preterm implies immaturity and there is a higher risk for morbidity and mortality. As Late Preterm Infants are often the size and weight of Term Infants problems exist as caregivers and parents treat this class of babies as if they are developmentally mature.
