  • Title: Prematurity and the obstetrician. A regional neonatal intensive care nursery is not enough.
    Author: Crenshaw C, Payne P, Blackmon L, Bowen C, Gutberlet R.
    Journal: Am J Obstet Gynecol; 1983 Sep 15; 147(2):125-32. PubMed ID: 6614091.
    Abstract:
    Modern-day perinatal care has resulted in dramatically improved outcomes of premature infants, particularly those weighing 750 to 1,500 gm or of 27 to 32 weeks' gestational age. Assuming that the birth is not traumatic, the infant asphyxiated, or made hypothermic at birth, the chances of the very small premature baby developing normally are great. The delivery of an infant of less than or equal to 32 weeks' gestational age or weighing less than 1,500 gm should occur at a perinatal center when possible.
