The study group consisted of the medical documentation of 300 infants born preterm \[between the 34th \(0\/7\) and the 36th \(6\/7\) weeks of pregnancy \(LPI\)\] and of 300 infants born on the due date \[between the 37th \(6\/7\) and the 39th \(6\/7\) weeks of pregnancy control group \(CG\)\] in the period from January 2010 to December 2013.The studies applied a retrosp"]
