Overview
Natural History, Complications and Prognosis
Anemia of prematurity may be tolerated in the otherwise healthy premature infant without complications and will eventually spontaneously resolve when EPO production resumes. However, hemoglobin levels < 10g/dL may be associated with decreased growth, evidence of compensatory increased cardio-respiratory response (tachycardia and tachypnea), and an increase in apnea.
