Does anyone have any more information about this study in Pediatrics
that is mentioned below?

>November 13, 2007 - Babies born just a few weeks early are six times
more likely to die in their first week of life than full term babies.
They're also three times more likely to die before their first
birthday, according to a new study in the Journal of Pediatrics.
Researchers say regardless of the cause, the death rate was higher for
preterm babies. It suggests they are a more vulnerable group.
Authors say, doctors should use this information when weighing whether
to induce delivery or perform a C-section before the  baby is full
term.<

BTW, Hathor has something to say on that subject!
