Advances in health care have reduced infant mortality. Advances in neonatal health care have increased survival of infants who were preterm, low birthweight and/or with chronic conditions. Result: more infants requiring specialized nutritional services.Newborns born at 1lb (2oz)-1lb (5oz), have a 33% chance of survival at birth.
