Limited ultrasound capacity in low-income settings makes correct gestational age dating difficult, limiting the ability to accurately assess preterm birth rates. Join us for a workshop focused on the utility of newborn metabolic profiles in gestational age determination in high- and low-income settings as well as the potential of these profiles to identify complications of preterm birth. Come to all or part of the discussion!
