A retrospective cross-sectional review of all premature infants admitted at KAUH between August 2016 and August 2018 was conducted. Collected data include characteristics, medical interventions, morbidities, mortality, and discharge outcomes. Included infants were divided into two groups less than 32-week gestation (group 1) and ≥32-week gestation (group 2). The outcomes were compared between both groups and reported accordingly. Out of 7020 newborns, 1102 were delivered before 37-week gestation, representing a prematurity rate of 15.7%. The mean gestational age and birth weight were 33.8 weeks and 2116grams respectively. Group 1 comprised 13%. Late preterm infants (gestational age 34 to 36 6/7 weeks) accounted for 74%. The mortality ratey and short-term complications were more frequent among those born before 32 weeks. Still, the overall mortality rate and risk of morbidities were reasonable. Population-based analysis of the risk factors among the more vulnerable very preterm and extremely premature infants is recommended to better understand the outcomes.As seasons come and go throughout the year, so does the rise and fall of influenza-like illnesses. The next wave of influenza will occur as the novel coronavirus 19 (COVID-19), caused by the SARS CoV-2 virus, continues to afflict the US. Both viruses, while from different families, have similar risk factors and symptoms such as fever, cough, headache, muscle aches, and fatigue. Since both viruses carry similar patient presentations and target similar patient populations, the ability of physicians to make a clinical diagnosis of influenza without testing is impaired.
