In fact, according to the U.S. Dept. of Health and Human Services National Center for Health Statistics, complications stemming from short gestation and low birth weight are the second leading causes of infant mortality in the United States.

In the United States, advanced technologies and procedures have made it more practical in recent years for medical professionals to attempt to save severely premature infants.
