Premature birth is a significant risk factor for neonatal disorders. Preterm infants are born before 37 weeks of gestation and are more susceptible to conditions like respiratory distress syndrome (RDS), intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). These complications arise due to the underdevelopment of organs and systems, making preterm infants particularly vulnerable to infections and other health issues.
