Abstract

Abstract: Using data from a regional medical follow-up network database of preterm infants born with gestational age (GA) <33 weeks, we found that low GA and deprived socioeconomic neighborhoods increased incidence of infection-related hospitalization during the first year of life. Respiratory tract infections rates were higher in extremely preterm infants.
