Hospitalization of an 800 gr. infant born after 27 weeks of gestation may last 3-4 months. Following discharge from the hospital a multidisciplinary clinic in Mt. Scopus offers follow-up care during the first 1 to 2 years of life. There is a regular follow-up clinic at Ein Kerem. I and II nurseries. The medical staff of the 2 hospitals includes 5 neonatologists and one neonatal fellow supported by 3 rotating pediatric residents.
Larger infants fare better.
Smaller fare worse.
