Description
Summary:The care and follow-up of premature babies after they graduate from neonatal intensive care units (NICU) are essential for maintaining quality of life and maximizing well-being. Ensuring the standardization of this complex multi-disciplinary process and creating individualized care plans is one of the areas that clinicians find most difficult to solve. In this review article, recommendations including somatic growth, vaccination, respiratory system, visual, auditory, surgical, metabolic, and other system follow-up of preterm babies, starting from preparation for discharge and post-discharge from NICU, are discussed in the context of the literature.
