Zusammenfassung

Präventionskonzepte in der Frühgeborenenmedizin setzen bereits im perinatalen Kontext an, um bestmögliche Ausgangsbedingungen zu schaffen. Die umfangreichste Studienlage für präventive Interventionen ergibt sich für den vulnerablen Zeitraum der Neonatalperiode. In der vorliegenden Übersichtsarbeit wird die aktuelle Evidenz zusammengefasst, und es werden die Aspekte, die durch interdisziplinäre Zusammenarbeit an verschiedenen Zeitpunkten der Entwicklung von (ehemaligen) Frühgeborenen positiv beeinflussbar sind, in den Vordergrund gestellt.

Abstract

Concepts of prevention for preterm children should already be implemented in the perinatal context in order to provide the best possible start in life. The most comprehensive studies on preventive measures are related to the vulnerable time of the neonatal period. This overview article summarizes the current evidence and focuses on those aspects that are modifiable by interdisciplinary collaboration at various times in the development of (former) preterm children.
