Abstract
The risks of adverse health outcomes were significantly greater in very and moderately preterm infants relative to full term infants but lower than extremely preterm infants. Crucially, preterm birth was associated with prolonged increased odds of hospitalization (up to age 6 years), contributing to greater resource use.
