Preferred term

very low birth weight  

Definition(s)

  • The birth of a newborn infant is a joyous event, but for many families, the reality of an extremely premature baby can be sudden and unexpected. Recent changes in prenatal care practices have enabled the survival of many infants that would have otherwise died after birth. [Source: Encyclopedia of Human Development; Very Low Birth Weight]
