We analysed data from 154 late preterm newborns, most of whom were male (60%), delivered by caesarean Sect. (68.2%) and from nulliparous mothers (63.6%). Logistic regression analysis was used to identify risk factors for neonatal morbidity among LPIs. LPIs with major anatomic malformations were excluded from the study. Maternal risk factors we observed were: age of mother, parity, maternal morbidity during pregnancy, complications and treatment during pregnancy. The analysed data included sex, gestational age, parity, birth weight, Apgar score (i.e., assessment of vitality at birth in the first and fifth minutes after birth), and length of hospitalization in NICU, as well as short-term outcome data. In this retrospective study, we evaluated adverse short-term outcomes of LPIs admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), Clinic for Children’s Diseases, University Clinical Center Tuzla, between and. To analyse short-term morbidity and mortality and identify predictors of adverse outcomes in late preterm infants. Preterm birth (PB) remains the leading cause of infant mortality and morbidity worldwide. ![]() Infants born between 34 weeks and 36 weeks and 6 days of gestation are defined as late preterm infants (LPIs), and they account for approximately 74% of all premature births.
