What is the definition or description of: premature baby?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Prematurity: Any newborn infant with a gestational age of less 37 weeks- since most pregnancies other than in vitro fertilization cannot determine exact dates of conception, several methods such as early ultrasound, last menstrual period, and the Ballard gestational assessment can predict gestational fairly reliably
