Late premature newborns – in the area of increased attention. Literature review. Part 1. Discussions about pregnancy prolongation and advisability of antenatal prevention of respiratory distress syndrome at terms of pregnancy close to full-term

Abstract

Late premature newborns remain the focus of attention of neonatologists around the world. Improving methods of providing medical care to pregnant women at high perinatal risk and changing approaches to monitoring them in recent decades will rely on the significantly increased number of newborns born near term. Therefore, the prognostic markers of the delivery have been actively sought in numerous numbers of studies in this group of newborns, as well as decreasing the risk of morbidity. In this article, we have presented discussions about the prolongation of pregnancy in the development of menacing obstetric conditions and the feasibility of antenatal prevention of distress syndrome during the pregnancy near term.

Keywords:late premature newborns; premature delivery; intrauterine growth; fetal development delay; preeclampsia; placenta accrete
