Rehospitalization rates of very preterm infants because of reasons that are related to neonatal morbidity states can be decreased with further improvement of neonatal intensive care provided. Conclusion : Analysis of rehospitalization data should be included in follow‐up programmes as a contribution to the development of strategies to improve neonatal care and the ultimate outcome for very‐low‐birthweight infants.
