Neonatal morbidities were compared between late preterm and term infants. Chi-square test and Fishers exact test were used for statistical analysis. P value <0.05 was considered significant.Compared with term infants, late preterm infants are at high risk for overall morbidity, respiratory morbidity, and need of mechanical ventilation, jaundice, hypoglycaemia & sepsis.They also have a higher mortality as compared to term neonates.As study results were statisticaly very significant and not much study had been done in late preterms we therefore got interested in publishing this result in form of a book.
