Y1 - 2022 N1 - T2 - Williams Obstetrics, 26e AB - At the time of this textbook’s first edition in 1903, preterm delivery was often followed by neonatal death. However, subsequent scientific innovation has advanced the threshold of viability to 22 to 24 weeks’ gestation (Watkins, 2020). Moreover, the overall survival rate for preterm neonates <29 weeks’ gestation approaches 80 percent (Travers 2018). Still, the preterm newborn is susceptible to many serious medical complications both early and later in life (Table 34-1).
