Calculate the corrected age for infants born preterm. Standardize developmental tracking by adjusting birth age based on gestational weeks, following NICU and clinical protocols.
الأسئلة الشائعة
What is corrected age, and why does it matter?
For a baby born preterm, it is the age counted from their original due date rather than their birth date, so normal development is not mistaken for delay.
How long should I keep correcting?
Common practice corrects until around age two, by which point most children have closed the gap. Very early or complex births may be corrected longer — ask your pediatric team.
Which age do I use for vaccinations?
Chronological age, not corrected. Immunization schedules run from the actual date of birth; corrected age is only for developmental expectations.
