They may weigh less than 2 pounds. They require specialized intensive care in a neonatal intensive care unit (NICU). Doctors and nurses who work in NICUs have specialized training to care for premature infants and their problems. Health problems for premature infants may not end when they go home from the hospital. They may need special medical care as they grow older. SN - 0098-7484 M3 - doi: 10.1001/jama.301.21.2290 UR - http://dx.doi.org/10.1001/jama.301.21.2290 ER -
