MICRO-PREEMIE is <800 gm or delivered @ <26 wks gestational age, right sir?

MICRO-PREEMIE is <800 gm or delivered @ <26 wks gestational age, right sir?

Or does it need to fulfill BOTH the categories?

For premat < 28 weeks of gestation and less than 1000 gram weight. Also they present with the symptoms of inguinal hernia (mostly in male neonates, 8:1 is the proportion). But for preemie it should be fulfilled < 26 weeks phenomenon.

what you’ve written is the definition of Extreme Prematurity and ELBW respectively.

Many references say it is either < 26 weeks or < 800 g.

Since best answer to choose is < 26 weeks of gestation
