Abstract
Prematurity is still a major problem not only in the field of obstetrics and
perinatal medicine but also for the society as a whole, not to mention the burdens for the
concerned infants and their families.(1)
The financial burden of preterm birth (PB) is
exceptionally high.
The cost of care of premature in Germany is around €730 million per year.
When this amount is added to the cost of clinical management of mothers with threatened PB
which amounted to about €360 million, the total cost is more than €1 billion. These calculations
do not include the cost of long-term care of children and adults with disabilities due to
prematurity.
