Older literature refers to these infants as near term, suggesting that they are equivalent to term infants. Approximately 10 years ago, the term late preterm was introduced into the medical literature to convey an appropriate sense of these infants’ vulnerability and increased risk for both short- and long-term complications. Since 2007, >500 articles about late preterm infants have been published, underscoring the increased risk of morbidity and mortality compared to term infants.
