Description
Premature birth remains a significant global health challenge, contributing to high rates of neonatal morbidity and mortality. This retrospective study analyzes the key characteristics, risk factors, complications, and predictive outcomes affecting preterm infant outcomes. Utilizing established theoretical frameworksincluding the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease (DOHaD), the Bioecological Model, and the Neurodevelopmental Framework this research examines the interplay of prenatal, perinatal, and postnatal influences on neonatal health. A comprehensive analysis of neonatal morbidity trends from 2018 to 2020 highlights both advancements and persistent challenges in neonatal care. By integrating clinical data with theoretical insights, this study provides a refined understanding of the factors influencing preterm infant health. The findings offer valuable implications for improving neonatal risk assessment models, optimizing clinical interventions, and enhancing long-term developmental outcomes for preterm infants. 2025 EL-MED-Pub.
