More than 380,000 babies are born prematurely each year in the United States, according to 2016 data from the National Center for Health Statistics (NCHS); that is just under 1 in every 10 babies born in the United States. Factors contributing to the increased survival of premature infants include prenatal corticosteroid therapy and early surfactant therapy to reduce the incidence of respiratory distress syndrome. Nutrition therapy plays a vital role in minimizing morbidity and mortality, and optimizing growth and development.
