Moderately premature infants, defined here as those born between 30⁰/₇ and 34⁶/₇ weeks gestation, comprise 3.9% of all births in the United States and 32% of all preterm births. Although long-term outcomes for these infants are better than for less mature infants, morbidity and mortality are still substantially increased in comparison with infants born at term. There is an added survival benefit resulting from birth at a tertiary neonatal care center, and although many of these infants require tertiary level care, delivery at lower level hospitals and subsequent neonatal transfer are still common. Our primary aim was to determine the impact of maternal characteristics and antenatal medical management on the early neonatal course of the moderately premature infant. The secondary aim was to create a clinical prediction rule to determine which infants require intubation and mechanical ventilation in the first 24 h of life. Such a prediction rule could inform the decision to transfer maternal-fetal patients before delivery to a facility with a Level III neonatal intensive care unit (NICU), where optimal care could be provided without the requirement for a neonatal transfer.
