OverviewPreterm birth refers to a condition when infant baby is born too early, before the completion of 37 weeks of pregnancy. There are four sub-categories of preterm birth which are defined on the basis on gestational age. These categories are extreme preterm, very early preterm, early preterm birth, and late preterm birth. Common causes of preterm birth include multiple pregnancies, infections, and chronic conditions such as diabetes and high blood pressure. The most frequent and severe type of injury during preterm birth is hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) or perinatal asphyxia. HIE refers to brain damage that occurs due to inadequate supply of oxygen or blood flow in the brain. The common signs and symptoms of HIE are abnormal movements or seizures, weak cry, and organ dysfunction (especially of heart, kidney and liver). The signs of brain damage can be diagnosed using neuroimaging tests, such as through magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world, on various topics related to neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm birth. With its detailed analyses and data, it will prove immensely beneficial to professionals and students involved in this area at various levels.
