Preterm delivery and low birthweight are serious birth outcomes that can have negative consequences, not only for infants and their families, but for communities and nation as a whole. Preterm delivery, defined as a delivery before 37 weeks of gestation, is "currently the most important problem in maternal-child health in the United States (Butler, 2007). Babies who are born preterm and/or at low birthweight are at increased risk for death in the first year of life. The loss of a baby can be a devastating experience for a family. Infant mortality (i.e. death of an infant less than one year of age) is an even greater tragedy when the death was due to a preventable preterm and/or low birthweight birth. Butler (2007) maintained that babies born very early or at a very low birthweight are at greater risk of dying before their first birthday. Nearly half of those infants born at less than 28 weeks of gestation or at less than 1,000 grams will not survive their first year of life.
