Assessing newborn health: birthweight and gestational age as outcome measures, full-term infant: 37 to 42 weeks, pre-term infants: before 37 weeks. Extremely low-birthweight: under 1000g: infant mortality: death that occurs within the first year of life, leading causes: Unintended injuries: combating infant mortality- associated factors: Large differences in rates among racial/ethnic groups: iugr: fetal under growth from any cause, resulting in a disproportionality in weight, length, or weight-for-length percentiles for gestational age. Large for gestational age (lga): above 90 th percentile. Baby"s toes fan out when the sole of the foot is stroked. Baby"s eyes close in response to bright light or loud noise.
