Clinical trials: Preterm Infant Development
Preterm Infants
Socio-Emotional Development in Preterm Infants
With advances in medicine and medical technology, premature infants born as early as 24 weeks of gestation and with birth weight less than 1000 grams are surviving today. Preterms are born with immature biological systems.
