Short-Term and Long-Term Mortality Risk After Preterm Birth
The findings of this population-based matched cohort study suggest that individuals born preterm were at an increased risk of death from birth until their third and fourth decades of life, with higher risks as GA decreased. Some of these associations may have been partly due to underlying health determinants that affected PTB and mortality. These findings suggest that PTB should be recognized as a risk factor for mortality and could inform preventive strategies.
