Neonatal disorders refer to a range of medical conditions that affect newborns, usually within the first 28 days of life. These conditions can be congenital or acquired after birth. Understanding neonatal factors is crucial for early diagnosis and treatment.
Gestational age is the length of time a baby spends in the womb. Preterm infants (born before 37 weeks) are at higher risk for complications like respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, and necrotizing enterocolitis. Full-term infants generally have better health outcomes.
