Why is Prematurity a Concern in Pediatrics?

Prematurity is a leading cause of neonatal mortality and long-term morbidity. Preterm infants, born before 37 weeks of gestation, are at increased risk for a range of complications including respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, and long-term developmental issues. The field of pediatrics focuses on improving the outcomes for these vulnerable infants through early intervention and specialized care.
